This should be an easy one, but I'm new to this, and apparently not as
bright as I once was. Anyway, I'm running COL2.2 and the "bash" shell. I
want to add a reference to my $HOME and working directory to my PATH, so,
like the book says, I added the following to my .profile file in my home
directory:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME:
export PATH
But it doesn't work! What gives? I know it's calling the lines, because I
added an echo "Hello!" line right after the export, and when I enter
.profile, it says Hello! (I have no idea how to see if this executes
during login, but it works from the command line).
Any thoughts?
