View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Where do I make the necessary change?
I am using gnome 3 and I installed neverputt from the repos, and when I click the icon in applications, it doesn't launch. Running it from the terminal gives:
Code:
Command 'neverputt' is available in '/usr/games/neverputt'
The command could not be located because '/usr/games' is not included in the PATH

I want to know from which configuration file , will apache take the environment variables ? In one of the test.php file , I added phpinfo() and saw that, PATH variable shows :
PATH/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java5/bin:/usr/java5/jre/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:/opt/freeware/mysql/bin
I want to add another path in this PATH variable. I tried to edit the /etc/environment file , ~/.profile file , stopped and started the apache server (httpd) , but still I am not able to see the PATH variable updated . Can anyone please help me out to know where should I make the changes to get the PATH variable updated ?
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.

I'm trying to configure subclipse with JAVAHL for ganymede. I have everything installed and the right version of the JAVAHL.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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...

In an xterm window, the CLASSPATH consists of two of every intended entry.In jre.sh I am doing aCode:export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/many/paths/to/jarsSo I'm guessing this is getting run twice in the xterm case.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI am happy to say that after almost a week of wandering around the INTERNET and posting desperate questions to our Ubuntu forums on how to set paths etc., I have finally begun to understand just how environment variables and path setting works. I must say, it wasn't all reading this or that, but rather making changes to my paths that helped me to understand. Anyway, if anyone who does not understand environment variables is reading this, then I recommend reading this

OK- I have 1 last question for my fellow linux users. Lets say I opened up $HOME /.profile and did some editing, and later decided to undo all of my changes but I forgot exactly what changes I made so now I want to set the default in there. How would I accomplish this? How do I set the defaults for any ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc type of files that I change.

I use Emacs and there's a bug that highlights everything whenever you use the ver scroll bar with your mouse. (My bad: Only wimps use Emacs in a window.) The workaround is to start Emacs with this on a command line:
Code: $ GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 emacs where "$" is the shell prompt. Q: how can I put this environment variable in the Emacs lauch icon? Or how/where can I put this in a .bash* file and have it activated (without relogging in)? I've forgotten so much of my Unix cave man skills with Ubuntu. . .

By mistake I have modified the PATH variable you know what a kind of mess it is.
Code:
echo $PATH
I just need to set the path variable again so I just need the format. Or can anybody come up with how to set the path variable.
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?

When I put a "test" target in my Makefile containing
Code:
@echo "CXX= $(CXX)"
it tells me "CXX= g++".
But I have nothing in the Makefile assigning any value to CXX, and as far as I can tell I have no CXX environment variable (no "CXX" appears when I run the shell command "env", and "echo $CXX" returns a blank line. So where's the g++ value coming from. Is this just built into Gnu Make, or is there a configuration file for make somewhere?
