Your path is the list of directories that the system looks in to find the command you type on the command line.

echo $PATH

will show it. From your previous post you're using csh so the setenv commands you're using are more appropriate (export is used in sh, ksh and bash). The csh command is:

set path = (/usr/local/bin $path)

then

echo $PATH

to make sure its updated.

/usr/lib, /usr/sbin

I'm a little confused. Unless you're installing standard system packages you shouldnt be adding anything to /usr/ccs/bin and you should not be adding links in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. This is why you need ot make sure your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set correctly.

The reason I suggested you uninstall all the packages and re-install the ones from sunfreeware is to ensure you have a clean installation. The cleaner the installation the less chance of problems happening. Also the distributions from sunfreeware all come as Solaris packages which makes for much cleaner installs/uninstalls. It sounds like you've tries a lot of things and it maybe that the state of the install is a little confused another reason to clean it up.

Also you mention Berkeley DB which by default installs into its own directory, so in order to use it you may need to add the Berkeley DB library directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well.
