Full Discussion: set path
Operating Systems Solaris set path Post 99608 by blowtorch on Monday 20th of February 2006 05:54:15 AM

Is your profile actually like
Code:
/usr/bin/bash
export PATH=.:/usr/sfw/bin:/etc:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/sbin:/usr:/usr/ccs/bin

Remove the first line from the above two. What is happening here is that the /usr/bin/bash is getting executed and you get your shell. Then, when you exit from the shell, the rest of your profile is executed. So the PATH is getting set, but only after you have actually finished working in your shell.

cc

cc(1B)						     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						    cc(1B)

NAME

       cc - C compiler

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/cc [options]

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/ucb/cc  is the interface to the BSD Compatibility Package C compiler. It is a script that looks for the link /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc to the
       C compiler. The /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc link is available only with the SPROcc package, whose default location is /opt/SUNWspro. The /usr/ucb/cc
       interface  is  identical  to  /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc, except that BSD headers are used and BSD  libraries are linked before base libraries. The
       /opt/SUNWspro/man/man1/acc.1 man page is available only with the SPROcc package.

OPTIONS

       The /usr/ucb/cc interface accepts the same options as /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc, with the following exceptions:

       -Idir	       Search dir for included files whose names do not begin with a slash (/) prior  to  searching  the  usual  directories.  The
		       directories for multiple -I options are searched in the order specified. The preprocessor first searches for #include files
		       in the directory containing sourcefile, and then in directories named with -I options (if any), then  /usr/ucbinclude,  and
		       finally, in /usr/include.

       -Ldir	       Add  dir  to the list of directories searched for libraries by /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc. This option is passed to /usr/ccs/bin/ld
		       and /usr/lib. Directories specified with this option are searched before /usr/ucblib and /usr/lib.

       -Y P, dir       Change the default directory used for finding libraries.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful compilation or link edit.

       >0	       An error occurred.

FILES

       /usr/ccs/bin/ld	       link editor

       /usr/lib/libc	       C library

       /usr/ucbinclude	       BSD Compatibility directory for header files

       /usr/ucblib	       BSD Compatibility directory for libraries

       /usr/ucblib/libucb      BSD Compatibility C library

       /usr/lib/libsocket      library containing socket routines

       /usr/lib/libnsl	       library containing network functions

       /usr/lib/libelf	       library containing routines to process ELF object files

       /usr/lib/libaio	       library containing asynchronous I/O routines
