I did give this command
export

and then I could run the program well, but the
environment variable is set transiently ie when i
logout and then relogin i need to give this command
again to set the env variables. I think this works
only locally, I am using an other program (Partigene)
that calls the Phred program to do a set of jobs and
here i face a lot of difficulty.
How can i set up the env variable Globally and not
Locally such that I dont have to set it up everytime I
run phred.
also: Does editing the file .cshrc and.login help? how
do I do that?. Is it safer to edit these files.
These are files for csh but you are using bash.
Put:
export PHRED_PARAMETER_FILE=/usr/local/etc/PhredPar/phred.dat
in ~/.bash_profile to set it up so that is set every time you log in
(like for .login in csh).
If you want to set this for all users of the system, not just your
account, do this (as root, and watch out for line wrapping here):
cd /etc/profile.d
echo "export PHRED_PARAMETER_FILE=/usr/local/etc/PhredPar/phred.dat" >
phred.sh
echo "setenv PHRED_PARAMETER_FILE /usr/local/etc/PhredPar/phred.dat" >
phred.csh
chmod 755 phred.sh phred.csh
