I am using CentOS5.5 & everytime it is showing command not found. If I export the path as below it will be working fine until a reboot. Again same error i.e command not found if I open new terminal. Every time I am exporting as below:
How can I set these permanently as that the paths should automatically be exported for everyone user whenever the system boots. And command completion also should happen for eg. #fdi (press tab), then it should show available options such as fdisk, etc.
I am trying to figure out how i can add the path /usr/sbin/ into the $PATH variable. I want this to be used from the normal account. I am bored settinh this manualy each time my computer starts.
Install problem: no acceptable C++ compiler found in $PATH (Trying to install freeciv, game) ... checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no checking whether g++ accepts -g... no checking dependency style of g++... none checking whether the C++ compiler works... no configure: error: in /home/peter/Download/freeciv-2.2.1': configure: error: no acceptable C++ compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. Other threads suggest install gcc which I thought I already did yet it didn't solve the problem!
I logged into my Red Hat Enterprise Linux machine at work (use it for software development) and the primary GUI does not load. Instead, widgets appeared for xclock, xterm, and Firefox. In the terminal, I start typing in commands to try to figure out what's going on, but all commands are not found except pwd and echo. I 'echo $PATH' and that returns just an empty, blank line. 'echo $SHELL' lets me know I'm using cash.
The likely cause was my attempt to install Adobe Reader Firefox plugin yesterday. After it downloaded, I ran the binary but Firefox didn't seem to recognize that I had installed it, so I went into my .cshrc file and added the adobe folder to the path. That didn't seem to work, so I gave up, deleted the binary and the folder I installed to, and removed that directory from the path in the .cshrc file. This last thing (the export PATH line in that file) I'm certain is back exactly as it was before.
I have successfully added the /bin and /usr/bin back to the path from command line via setenv PATH /usr/bin:/bin but of course it doesn't stick after reboot nor does it magically load the primary GUI. I'd rather not go through the effort of creating a ticket for our company's Global Service Desk cuz there's no telling how long that could take to resolve. In the meantime, I can't do any programming.
I am having problems with symbolic links and the $PATH variable.I have a directory:# /usr/rulerX/squarewhere /usr/rulerX/square is a symbolic link such that:
# ls -la square --> square.hg.current My path variable is set as:
Experimenting with shell variables, accidentally deleted the path variable how could I return to the original path value. What kinds of problems will I have if I don't have a path variable.
how to add a path to PATH variable permanently so that it remains persisent even after closing shell and rebooting the system when i added a path, to variable it remained there as long as i didn't closed the shell. but when i reopened it ,changed were undone.
I used to be able to run locate and updatedb, but after an OpenSUSE update, they no longer work. I've reinstalled findutils and it appears to install correctly, but the commands still don't work.
i ran into a problem when i installed mplayer on suse 11.1 from source, it works just fine BUT it has no GUI.When i try to use the command "gmplayer", it returns 'bash: gmplayer: command not found
I'm using lucid on both my laptop and my desktop, both fully up to date. When I ssh from my laptop to my desktop, I get "PATH: command not found", and then a shell with no working path. I don't know enough about how bash starts up, or how ssh works, to figure it out.
Update - I've found .bash_profile, and commented out the first line, and now it works. I'd still like to sort this, though, so I don't have to keep commenting it in and out. The line is: export PATH=$(PATH):/usr/share/android-sdk/tools
I have just installed Ubuntu onto my machine and my question is if it automatically comes with the PATH environment variable?If so, how do I add something such as python.exe to the PATH environment variable?
I need to set PATH environment variables so they will be set every tie I startup ubuntu. Is there a startup script that will do this, and where is it located?
I was changing my sudoers file to give permission of using "sudo" command to all root commands, asking for the password. It works, it's fine. The problem I'm having is with the variable PATH to my user, I think.
In terminal: normal user:
Code:
ataias@ataias-notebook:~/Downloads$ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin super user:
I want to add my current working directory to the PATH variable and make it permanant in my .bash_profile so I can run my testscript without using the ./ charactors.can this be done?
I didn't find this question in the FAQ or through the Search button.I added a server application and would like to update the PATH env't variable so that I don't have to type the full path for its binaries. I'd like to make sure I do it right: Do I just need to edit /etc/profile or is there another file somewhere in CentOS that I should use instead?
I have been trying to change my PATH environment variable to no avail. I am using Jessie i386 with MATE. Using my .bashrc file works but not well because with subshells the modifications get repeated. I want the change to occur on login.
I tried modifying ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile and /etc/environment and one or two others but in no case did my change get picked up even after logging out and in again and even after rebooting. I searched the Internet and found each of the above places to make the change but they don't seem to work with Jessie.
I want to add a path (/usr/sys) to the global $PATH. I will use this to test commands and scripts, which I don't want to be mixed up with regular commands. I've added the path to /etc/environment. When I start a terminal session under my user account, the path is included in the $PATH variable. However, when I start a root terminal, it is not. Is there a way to to change $PATH on one place where it will also affect the root terminal, or do I have to change it on 2 locations?
Originally Posted by Gekitsuu you should be able to do NEWSTRING=$STRING1$STRING2 it works but i can't use it for creating a path variable / file name.
e.g. $STRING1 = path $STRING2 = filename cat $STRING1$STRING2 will not work. so how to get this working?
What steps have to be followed for having customized contents of PATH environment variable whenever new users are created? I require this in order to include a special directory into PATH variable; and this has to be a default one for all the newly created users.
I have downloaded java and installed it with chmod +x and then ./bin package.
Hereunder is an output from CLI (putty)
I understand that the system knows the java is in a wrong place but if I do java -version it finds it correctly. I don't know and I don't understand how do I need to tell the OS that the java is somewhere else, I just did that with export java home and java path but still dosen't work, it keep tells when I do whereis java "java: /usr/share/java"
I'm having a strange issue with the PATH variable when running the command 'sudo su'. When executing this command the PATH variable changes. No problems there, but it changes to:
Code:
Looking at this, there are two weird entries (//sbin and //bin) which should both start '/usr' instead. I'm not sure how I've managed to change this, or how a piece of software I'm using has done it (more likely it was me I expect), but could anyone suggest which file to look in to correct it? If it makes a difference the machine is running CentOS 5.
I'm trying to pass a path as a string to an array, but its evaluating it as a command instead. I want to take the literal string "/mnt/accounts/user/temp/*.jpg" and assign it to an array{1}, but when i echo the array variable, it displays it as
pic1.jpg pic2.jpg pic3.jpg
[code]....
I just want it to be the actual text "/mnt/accounts/user/temp/*.jpg" which i will be combining with other text to create a longer path elsewhere in the code.
