Re: OT - Minicom Send files/Upload option problem

Hi All,

in the INSTALL file, it states to do the following,

2.  Set some environment variables in the file .profile (or .login,
   depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
   file if it is not there already.

       QTDIR              - the directory in which you're building Qt
       PATH               - to locate the moc program and other Qt tools
       MANPATH            - to access the Qt man pages
       LD_LIBRARY_PATH    - for the shared Qt library

   Note that under IRIX the additional LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH and
   LD_LIBRARY64_PATH variables are used for specifying library
   search paths. Set the variable that matches your configuration, or
   see the rld(5) man page for more information.

   This is done like this:

   In .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
   following lines:

       QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
       PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
       MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
       LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

now, I need to ask this hand holding question...is /root/.bash_profile the same thing, or, do I need to create a .profile file.? Cheers.
