Debian :: Find & Modify Path Statement
Jul 19, 2011
I am running Debian Squeeze, 64-bit.I would like to try my hand at bash scripting. So at the author's suggestion (first chapter of Chris F. A. Johnson, Pro Bash Scripting from apress) I created a /bin directory in my home directory. So now I would like to modify my PATH statement so that when I run a script from my bin directory my shell will find it.I did that. He then says that I should add this to ".bash_profile, .bashrc, or .profile depending on how bash is invoked." The find command is unable to locate any of these files. So I searched the forum, found the link above and tried to follow that. No luck so I assume that how Debian handles PATH statements has changed since that post?
I also have checked the wiki and worked Google as hard as I know how to do.Very simply where the heck is my PATH statement and how do I modify it?

On Ubuntu 9.10 I installed Python 3.1.1 successfully with Synaptic Package Manager. However the Python interpreter cannot find my scripts, currently in /home/dave/pycode. This appends _temporarily_ but python remains clueless about location of my scripts. Searched Internet and some speak of .rc or .bashrc or .profile..files. Found some of these and opened with Komodo : they are Linux script files and I am clueless as to how to modify.Currently I can import my scripts only if I change to the /pycode dir before running.Lutz's Python book says to change PATH file - Ha .Sobell's "A practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux" is no help. Ubuntu's own on line help is worth less than a fart in a hurricane. Ubuntu's gedit would not even open bash.bashrc.

I was installing a software in my Ubuntu 9.10 and after installation completed it prompted the following warning:
Warning: Your PATH does not point to your newly installed /home/pc/Reflex/software/bin/esorex.
To ensure execution of the newly installed software you should modify your PATH.
Note that "esorex" is the executable file and by typing its name in the Terminal the program starts.
What should I write in my "bashrc" as PATH to that program?

We are building our C++ project in Kdevelop IDE. Every time we run "Run Configure" from the "Build" menu, a file named "libtool" gets automatically generated. This file contains a statement as "ECHO="echo"".f we run "Automake", without modifying the "libtool" the system hangs and theputer needs to be restarted.Therefore every time we run "Run Configure" we need to include the line "echo="echo"" below the statement "ECHO="echo"" manually.I think a script can be written which does the above on its own.I am not a shell script programmer, I know the good tutorials for shell scripts are available on the net, but learning scripting only for this task would be time-consuming and painful.

right now i'm doing a find . -type d -iname "z*" to find all folders who's name starts with z or Z.
Is there a way I could with one command find all folders who's name starts with the letters M through Z, without having to do the same command over and over and just changing the letter each time?

When I first installed Karmic, I created a dummy Ubuntu1 account to play around with and have long since forgotten everything about it. Now I am attempting to setup a real account and I cannot find a way to modify the account settings for the client software. Is there a way or do I have to purge it?

I am trying to install Staden on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine (64bit). It requires a number of dependencies to be installed prior to configuring the source. I was fortunate to find all of them using the synaptic package manager. now for the configure command I need to specify where these dependencies are as options.
how do I find the programs that I need to reference as options to the configure command such as: tcl, tk, zlib, xz utils, libpng, curl, tklib, itcl, itk, etc. Is there a standard directory that synaptic uses or what?

I'm using bash scripting to find any file that matches a path governed by the following regular expression:
"(monthly|nightly).[0-9]+/home/(user1|user2)/.mailbox/"
to match files like:
monthly.9/home/user1/.mailbox/l23131564
nightly.15/home/user2/.mailbox/cur/6546213
I've tried:
Code:
myRegex="(monthly|nightly).[0-9]+/home/(user1|user2)/.mailbox/"
find ./ -regextype posix-egrep -regex $myRegex
and it just spins and never gives me an answer, even though the file structure isn't that big.

I am using VLC to capture video from my webcam. So to set the video device I use /dev/video0 (built in webcam), but I need to specify the path to the built in mic and I can't find what that path is. If it help any, it seem my system is configured to use pulse audio instead of alsa. Is there any script to run to find where my mic is "pathed" at? arecord -l returns this:

Assume I call a certain tool in terminal like
foobar -myoption
But a) there exists more than one installation of "foobar" on the system or b) I don't know where "foobar" is installed.
How can I find out WHICH foobar resp. WHICH path belongs to the currently active foobar tool?
I prefer a cmdline command with option similar to:
findactivepath -tool=foobar
....
Output: Used location=/usr/bin/foobar
I don't want to dig around with PATH investigations by searching every PATH component. Furthermore I don't want to get recommendations and expectations like "normally tools are installed in...". Think of unusual installed software.

I have this weird problem. The other day I asked a question about restore the backup file after dual boot installation. I have done the dual boot ( XP installed first) then restored the backup file. Now the problem is that I forgot if I excluded system files from backup or not, so when I restored and rebooted, my installations got messed up, many programs do not find their path to run, etc. But the real problem is when I rebooted again, I got error 15: file not found tried to follow some other posts here to solve this and noticed that running fdisk -l gives me:

I am trying to install syslog-ng-3.0.2 on Fedora 12 and have run into an issue I don't know how to solve. When runing the "configure --enable-ssl" I get the following "checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.14 checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0... 2.0, bad version string no configure: error: Cannot find GLIB version >= 2.0: is pkg-config in path?" I have glib-2.24.0 installed on this system so I don't understand where this issue is coming from or how to fix it.
Back ground on my system -
[root@syslog-ng]# set PKG_CONFIG=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
[root@syslog-ng]# export PKG_CONFIG

I am having a big problem trying to allow PHP to scan files, using clamav libs in PHP.
I downloaded the relevant files from:[url]
Anyways I am stuck on the tutorial for installing it in the 'INSTALL' file, where it says to run the command:
Quote:
It runs for a duration but then halts on the following error:
Quote:
It suggests that 'configure:3465' that the files where not found going by the line above that.
Not being in the default path, does anyone know where to make libclamav work?
An easier way of locating such files that it's looking for?
