Hello,
The problem I met is the conflict between the default command /usr/bin/sometools, which is an very old version at system setup, and an updated one I have installed in $HOME/download-software/sometools
How do I tell a third program to use the customized sometools instead of the default one? This is related to my other question in this this post, again I do not have root privilege.
I have tried the alias in my~/.bashrc by
Code:
alias sometools="$HOME/download-software/sometools"
but the program always uses the old version from /usr/bin/sometools. It seems related to login shell and non-login shell,non/interactive shell etc, but I am still not 100% sure after googling a while (I am not alone with this question!) and want to clarify this confusion here related to current problem. Thanks a lot!
