Hi Antoine I *think* you can define your $PATH in /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile so that you won't have to export the path each time. By coincidence I happened to read the following extract this morning (note the last paragraph): >From Mandrake User Org Docs (Using the Shell III) "One important thing to keep in mind is that variables declared this way are only set for the current terminal. Open another terminal or xterm, export WHIZBANG again. Now switch to the other terminal. echo $WHIZBANG just returns a null-value. If you want to make use of this variable in every terminal, you have to define it either in '/etc/profile' or in '~/.bash_profile'. All this applies to $PATH, too. Have a look at your current $PATH with echo $PATH, append to it with export PATH=$PATH:[newpathname], define it in '/etc/profile' or in '~/.bash_profile'."
