Subject: Problems exporting PATH after modified.
> Hi,

> I'm having some problems exporting the PATH environmental variable after I have modified it in the Terminal that comes with KDE.

You are not saving the new variable value i.e after logout and login you
get the old value.
save your new value to path in your ~/.bash_profile
PATH=$PATH:new value
export PATH
HTH.

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for
word what you shouldn't have said.
