The path for everyone is set in /etc/profile. Your shell should reference |
6 |
this when you start a new instance of it (i.e. log in, open a new xterm or |
7 |
Konsole or whatever). (It's *actually* built from stuff in /etc/env.d so you |

shouldn't modify /etc/profile directly...) |

Try doing "source /etc/profile" in a shell, and that shell should pick up the |
17 |
new path. Restarting X or rebooting should make the change global. |

Most packages I've installed (I won't say "all" because I could be forgetting |
20 |
something) modify /etc/profile if they need to change the system PATH. If |
21 |
Limewire did not, you can add to your ~/.bashrc something like: |
22 |
|
23 |
export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/ibm-jre-bin-1.4.2/bin |
24 |
|
25 |
That definitely should be picked up every time you start a new terminal, |
26 |
because it's in your local (user's) environment. |
