ok I am stumped as to where the $PATH is set. I know in OSX I just
added a ~/.profile and every time I opened the terminal that would be
read and I could export environmental variables there. however I tried
that here, and the file didn't seem to do anything. I open a new
terminal and the $PATH is still the same as before.
The reason I am trying this is because I just installed limewire, and
the java in /opt/ibm-jre-bin-1.4.2 is not in my path. So when I open
limewire it can't find the "java" command, which, again, is in
/opt/ibm-jre-bin-1.4.2/bin.
I could make a bunch of symlinks of the java-bin/bin stuff to
/usr/local/bin I suppose, but that seems like a lot more work than
necessary. Why that wasn't done in the emerge process I have no idea.
Checking my PATH it has changed quit a bit as I install new stuff so I
know some things are changing this.
