Re: [ferret_users] ferret installation

[srattan@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
Alternatively can I add the following at the very end of my .bashrc file,

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin/ferret_paths
export PATH

or in my .bash_profile file, where should I enter
. $HOME/bin/ferret_paths

###################################################################
# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.
# the default umask is set in /etc/login.defs
umask 022

# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc

fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
    PATH="~/bin:${PATH}:/home/sanjayr/bin"

fi

# do the same with MANPATH
if [ -d ~/man ]; then
    MANPATH=~/man:"${MANPATH}"
    export MANPATH
fi

Does it matter if I use linux 32 bit or linux 64 bit. I tried both  
versions but it doesn't work. My machine is a (ppc64).

Bye
