Hi again, I need to setup a global (all users) enviroment variable (for compilation), which must be available both in terminal sessions as well as KDE (so the "makefile" works both when calling make from a bash shell or KDevelop). First I've put in ~/.bashrc, but then is not there when compiling from KDevelop. So I've moved it to /etc/profile, but now is nowhere (echo $var shows nothing) Where should I put it?
