Setting Path in Mandrake

[CP]

I've put the directories I want in my path in /etc/profiles and /home/cp/.bash_profile yet it hasn't done anything, what file do I need to edit to add extra dirs to my path? Mandrake 9.0
Cheers
CP

hey CP, i edit either /etc/bachrc or ~/.bashrc and then i add a line that looks like this:
export PATH=$PATH:/new/path

I already had it in my .bash_profile and it hadn't worked, so I tried putting it in /etc/bashrc and that seemed to do it.

Did you log in and out? I needed to do that. And that means X too ;D
