1. Re: linux---CAN ANYONE HELP???
Here is my original message at the bottom...
I have x windows working basically, and linux loads...etc.
but I can't figure out how to execute exu or even ed under exu.
how do I change the profile of my system so that it has the paths in it?
my profile looks kind of like this (file is named PROFILE and is in the ETC
folder)
# /etc/profile: This file contains system-wide defaults used by
# all Bourne (and related) shells.
# Set the values for some environment variables:
export OPENWINHOME=/usr/openwin
export MINICOM="-c on"
export
in/man
export HOSTNAME="`cat /etc/HOSTNAME`"
export LESSOPEN="|lesspipe.sh %s"
export LESS="-M"
export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/lib/netscape
# Set the default system $PATH:
# For non-root users, add the current directory to the search path:
if [ ! $UID = 0 ]; then
PATH="$PATH:."
fi
I am not sure how to add this too it though. I found no local copy of a
bash_profile.
you need to:
1. add euphoria/bin to your PATH
2. create an environment variable: EUDIR
What am I doing wrong?
