I try to set an environment var in a simple script like QTDIR=/usr/local/Qt-323-Win export QTDIR echo $QTDIRwhen I run the script it echos back the correct path but when I go to my konsole and type echo $QTDIR it is not there . However if I type the script
That's right.
commands in the konsole, then it is there. Any explanation for this ? and how I can get a script to work ?It is working. You don't want one script affecting everything else on the system.
If you want some environment variables set for all your console/terminal sessions,
1. set them in ~/.bashrc 2. Make sure that your terminal applications all start a "login shell."Just how you do this depends on your terminal application and the version of it. Read relevant documents.
