Hi Sanjay,

Lets make it clear.

> export PATH

I guess your ferret_paths is a file not a directory. If it is a file  
"source" the file like below.

source $HOME/bin/ferret_paths

Another important thing. I guess your shell is bash. Then your  
ferret_paths file should have a "bash" syntax rather than the default  
tcsh.
You can get a bash_template from the "bin" directory. Edit the FER_DIR  
and FER_DSETS depending on your installation location.

open a new terminal or type "source .bashrc".

then

when you type "export" in your terminal, you should see the FER_DIR  
and FER_DSETS locations. If not then make sure anything else is not  
wrong.

Cheers
