I believe the correct way to do this is to set the path in ~/.bashrc.
Set it like so:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:$HOME/scripts
I've tried some of the other ways discussed in the thread, and they
didn't work. I hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply. I already discovered that adding it to .bash_profile
doesn't work, but to .bashrc does. But someone told me it should belong
in .bash_profile.
Well, I don't know, but adding it to .bashrc works and I'm glad to know
that I'm not the only one with this 'problem'.
Manon.
