Ok.. since I didnt get a response from redhat support (i'm
a registered "official" user of 3.0.3), I will ask here:
Is it impossible to add the current directory to the path?
I have tried editing /etc/profile and also the user's individual
.cshrc to add "." to the path, but with no luck. What's more: if I
do:
setenv PATH $PATH:.
or setenv PATH $PATH:./.
or setenv PATH $PATH:./
and then I do "echo $PATH", the output does not include the dot (.).
Also... where should I add environment variables that I want to set for
the whole system? For example, MINICOM is a long set of things with which
minicom doesnt work. I need to do "setenv MINICOM -m" everytime
(or put it in my own .login or .cshrc), but if I put the same thing
in /etc/profile, it just doesnt work. After I reboot, I check the MINICOM
env. variable and it is not "-m"
Any one knows why? Thanks a lot....
