Re: Cant add to path


David wrote:

Hi,
I installed cygwin_NT-5.1.
Built a project needed.
I tried to add to my PATH a few paths but i could not locate my .bashrc
or bash_profile like
on my linux machine.
I read some DOCs but could not find the
files on my ~ dir so tried to edit \etc\skel\.bash_profile or \etc\skel\.bashrc,
but there was no effect on $PATH

Just copy the files form /etc/skel to your home dir and edit there. The skeleton files are what the name says, they don't effect your environment as long as they are not in your home directory.

so I exported from the command line
and my PATH looks like this:
echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common
Files/Borland Shared/BDE/:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Borland/BDS/3.0/Bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32
:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem
:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Rational/common
:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SQLServer/80/Tools/BINN
:/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/david/MyDocuments/Borland Studio Projects/Bpl
:/srilm/bin:srilm/bin/cygwin:/MorphTagger


Still whenever i try to invoke an execuatble from /srilm/bin (/srilm/bin is one
of my additions to PATH)
I get a command not found messege. Same goes for which command.

PATH with spaces is bad. Try to mount the directories needed and add the mount to the path then.
