The contents of /etc/env.d/47kdepaths-3.3.0 on my computer (automatically |
| 16 |
installed): |
| 17 |
PATH=/usr/kde/3.3/bin |
| 18 |
ROOTPATH=/usr/kde/3.3/sbin:/usr/kde/3.3/bin |
| 19 |
LDPATH=/usr/kde/3.3/lib |
| 20 |
CONFIG_PROTECT=/usr/kde/3.3/share/config:/usr/kde/3.3/env:/usr/kde/3.3/shutdown |
| 21 |
|

Of course this only works after a reboot or env-update and relogin. |
