General :: Environment Variable And Current Shell

May 24, 2010

I am using Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5. I know the theory that -- using export to set environment variable, the environment variable will apply to current and child environment, but without using export to set environment variable, the environment variable will only apply to the current environment. What is the exact definition of "child environment" and "current environment"? For example,

Code:
$ var1=123
$ echo "Hello [$var1]"
The value of var1 (which is 123) is printed in shell, but I think echo is a command invoked by current shell, and it (the echo command) should be a child environment of current shell and the value of var1 should not (because not using export var1=123) impact echo.

General :: Adjusting The PKG_CONFIG_PATH Environment Variable?

Sep 14, 2010

i ran into a problem while isntalling xine player on fedora 11, i first of all installed its core engine 'xine-lib' successfully with standard prefix! when i run the './configure' for its frontend (xine-ui) it gives this error.

No package 'libxine' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XINE_CFLAGS and XINE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.See the pkg-config man page for more details.

General :: Changing The Environment Variable Permanently In Ubuntu 10.10

Apr 30, 2011

I want to make change to environment PATH system wide. Because I have program called "md5". I want to execute it from anywhere (i.e any directory).

My md5 program is located at "/home/ahuq/MappingServer/md5_program". So what I did was to put: "export PATH=$PATH:/home/ahuq/MappingServer/md5_program" in the running SHELL.

This only makes temporary changes and lets me run the "md5" program from anywhere temporarily.

But I want to make this change permanent. So what I did was to put the "PATH=$PATH:/home/ahuq/MappingServer/md5_program" line into the "/etc/environment" file.

This screwed everything up and then for a while I couldn't execute anything from SHELL. I knew the absolute path of "nano" editor and used it to modify the file (i.e. /etc/environment) back to its original condition.

This fixed the problem and now I can run programs like "ls" from the SHELL.

But still I need a way to permanently add the path of "md5" to the environment. How can I do this in Ubuntu 10.10? Which file needs to edited?

Do I just logout or do I have to restart the system to make the changes active?

General :: Tricking Apps About Current Time With Environment Variables?

May 21, 2010

Sometimes it is possible to trick a Linux app by calling it like this:

HOME=/tmp/foo myapp

This would make myapp think /tmp/foo is the home directory, it won't try to get the user id, find its home directory via getpwent(). This is useful when myapp must be forced to dump some of its config files into a non-standard location different than ~.

A similar trick can be done like this: LANG=foo LC_ALL=bar myapp

This is useful when myapp needs to be called once with a different locale without having to make the change persistent by using the export bash built-in or even modify stuff in /etc/profile.

Is it possible to pull the same trick with time and date? The goal is to make an app use another time than the system ones. The final goal - to make timestamps that appear in logs/commit messages not being tied to the system time.

Debian :: Cannot Add Environment Variable

Apr 27, 2015

I'm trying to add 2 new environment variables (Debian . I have created a "/etc/profile.d/java.sh" file and in it I have added these lines (and just for the record, I've also tried adding those line to the profile file with the same results as explained below).

Code: Select allexport XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/X11/app-defaults

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/runtime/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/bin/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/sys/os/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v85/runtime/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v85/bin/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v85/sys/os/glnxa64

The first variable "XAPPLRESDIR" is added just fine (I check by doing echo $XAPPLRESDIR). The second variable is not added. Here's what I discovered though, if I change the variable name to LD_LIBRARY_PATK (I change the word "path" into something else) then it works just fine... So how am I supposed to add this variable? I need it to be named just that...
