Unix Path
Hi all,
I've found following information in sunfreeware: ----------------- If the package installs in /usr/local/bin, you must put /usr/local/bin (or /opt/foo/bin when programs install in /opt/fee) in your UNIX PATH. You will also probably want to add /usr/local/man to your MANPATH in a similar way. ----------------- How can I do that correctly? Can someone point me to any documentation?  Thanks!!!!!

I think u should write in /etc/profile
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/man export MANPATH :wq! Any how which free ware are you using? Be careful while installing and check dependency libraries. I have an issue.. I have installed some of that libraries and freewares. Now my machine is taking a long time to get desktop. Be careful while installing... Trace out the script ,which files its creating? , where is it creating ? and Is is modifying any older files.? regards.

Just more two questions...
this file can be used to add all variables I need? Also, how can I set a variable during runtime? eg, I need to set a var during some installation... does it depend of the shell used? Thanks for clarifications!!!

Yes.. you need to edit that file for permanent. You can specify at command prompt also but that is for temporary(for that session only).
Yes.. you can do that during installation but you need to write a script and append that script to installation script... regards....
