For Bash you want to put this in ~/.profile
I have these two lines (among others) there:
PATH=$PATH:/Developer/Tools
export PATH
ok, I have a path as follows:
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/
powerpc-apple-darwin-current
now, I didn't add any of this myself, though I know the teTeX
installer did at least part of it.
BUT, it's not in my .profile. There is no path info of any kind in my
.profile... so.... can anyone tell me where it is?
Thanks,
Markian
PS: what is bashrc for? is this a BSDism, using .profile instead of
.bashrc? or what?
'.bashrc' is not a BSDism, nor is '.profile'. Read the man page ("man
bash") for details about the startup protocol for 'bash' (the same
holds for other shells as well; they tend to be fairly well documented,
and largely system-independent).
All of your questions are answered in the man page.
Regards,
Justin
