1. Re: linux---CAN ANYONE HELP???
To see your actual path, type <set> (without arguments) it will display
all your variables.
<ls -al > will show your hidden files. if you don't have a .bash_profile,
you can simply copy it:
cp /etc/profile ./bash_profile
Then edit the file and add the lines:
export EUDIR="/...yourpath.../euphoria"
PATH="/...yourpath.../euphoria/bin:."
and don't forget to
export PATH
after setting it.
to make it active, you can logout and login again, or source it:
. .bash_profile
Some points:
Note that if you log in as root, the current directory is NOT in the path.
to run a program, you must give the entire or relative path:
./myprog
linux is CASE SENSITIVE !! usually caps are used for environment
variables.
if your shell is not bash, it won't source your bash_profile... copy it
to .profile and .ksh_profile .
if your shell is csh, then the syntax is different:
add the lines
set path=(. /bin /usr/bin /usr/euphoria/bin ....... )
setenv EUDIR /usr/euphoria
in the .cshrc file.
To get it active,
<source .cshrc> instead of <. .profile>
setenv shows the environment variables
set shows normal variables
problems with vi ? Escape to get out of editing. If your Escape key doesn't
work, i think you can try Ctl<[> . <shift>ZZ to save and quit, or :wq if
you
prefer... :q! to quit without saving, i for insert, x deletes one char,
dd one
line... cw changes one word (till you push Escape); R for overwriting;
o to create a new line... lot of fun.
Good luck! and dont hesitate...
