Hi, I want to set a few shell variables that I occasionally want to set up. I dont want them set always. Thats why I can't put them in .bashrc
thus I want to temporarily export PATH=/home/mlaks/stable-gtk/local/bin:$PATH export \ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/mlaks/stable_gtk/local/lib:/home/mlaks/stable_gtk/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines:/home/mlaks/stable_gtk/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules:/home/mlaks/stable_gtk/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders:/home/mlaks/stable_gtk/local/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules:/home/mlaks/stable_gtk/local/lib/orbit-2.0:/home/mlaks/stable_gtk/local/lib/bonobo/monikers: $LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/mlaks/stable_gtk/local/lib/pkgconfig Now I can type all three of these lines each time and then it will work, but I am lazy and I want to just run a single command and change my environment. I created a file with these lines, chmoded 755 the file (and tried with and without adding #!/usr/bin/sh as the first line ) and it did not help. even if I run it, it only sets the variables within the run shell it does not source the variables for the father (mother) shell How can I do this?
