$ grep PATH ~/.bashrc
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
    PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"

So look in ~/.bashrc for that line, or add it if it isn't there

$ ls -al .bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 peter peter 2583 2006-07-08 08:04 .bashrc

Yup, 644 - but that's the default anyway, for files you create in your
$HOME in Ubuntu.

peter at prospero:~ $ umask
0022   ---> translates to 755 for directories and 644 for files.
