Re: [Nolug] INcluding more directories in paths

What shell are you using?

If you are using bourne (sh), put it in ~/.shrc; if you are using c-shell
(csh), put it in ~/.cshrc.

As far as I know, .profile is read in only ONCE per login. Are setting
the vars correctly?

In bourne (sh):

export PATH="{$PATH}:/newpath/to/add"

In c-shell (csh):

setenv PATH "{$PATH}:/newpath/to/add"
