PATH issues
Hello. I posted a similar thread earlier. However, I
related my PATH issues to the specifics of java and all of the replies
on that thread just explained how to install java. BUT I'm
actually interested in PATH issues on debian.
Can someone explain to me where the PATH is set in debian? Does
debian source some file that will apply to BOTH gnome sessions as well
as terminal login sessions? The various profile and bashrc files
do not seem to effect the path that is available to gnome, such as when
you launch a program via a gnome launcher. If you open a
terminal from within gnome, the bashrc stuff is applied ( because its a
new bash session ) but the profile stuff isn't there. I
understand that this is because gnome has its own login environment
script. BUt I want to know if there's a single place to put PATH
admendments that will count for everything on my system whether you
login via the terminal or via gnome. This seems like a
fundamental issue, no?
