Thanks Stephen and Jerry,
I put the binaries in usr/bin, and made a VNCviewer link in home/luc and everything runs like a horse on speed!!

you can do:
export /home/luc/whateverdirectoryyouputitin/:$PATH - but in reality,
munging junk like that into a "stable" system ain't always good.
Jerry's got the right idea by making sure you install programs into the
proper binary directories - as I stated before...
(BTW, it's not always good to have a link in /usr/bin if you've already
got the binary in /usr/local/bin - unless the link in /usr/bin is
pointing to a program NOT in /usr/local/bin - rather like
/usr/local/myprogram/bin - like that...)
