PATH

[David M. Carney]

Ok all.

This isn't really a Ubuntu question, but a Linux question.

I'm trying to install a java app that uses an installer. It claimed it
could not find a java vm in my path, so I added the following lines to
my ~/.bash_profile:

PATH=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin:

export PATH

If I (from a Gnome terminal) type "echo $PATH", I get:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games

Even after logging out and back in, I can only get the above, not the
path I want.

In what file is this path set?

David
