I just looked at the man pages both for Ubuntu and Fedora, and it looks like
The update alternatives have to be configured
IMO it is much more simple to
Cd <path to the rexx executable directory>
Export PATH=`pwd`:$PATH
Or better use the attached snippets
It works for me on Darwin Fedora, CentOS
Enrico
Here are two bash snippets to add/remove a directory to/from the PATH
( I have also the same for zsh )
Cd somewhere and …
The snippets should be sourced, not executed
source path.here
. path.here
source path.remove
. path.remove
# path.here
# remove the current path from the PATH and add it to the front
# add in front of PATH
prepen_path()
{
if ! eval test -z "\"\${$1##*:$2:*}\"" -o -z "\"\${$1%%*:$2}\"" -o -z
"\"\${$1##$2:*}\"" -o -z "\"\${$1##$2}\"" ; then
eval "$1=$2:\$$1"
fi
}
# remove path
remove_path()
{
# front/middle
if eval test -z "\"\${$1##$2:*}\"" -o -z "\"\${$1##*:$2:*}\"" ; then
eval "$1=${!1/$2:/}"
return
fi
# tail
if eval test -z "\"\${$1%%*:$2}\"" ; then
eval "$1=${!1/:$2/}"
return
fi
# only
if eval test -z "\"\${$1##$2}\"" ; then
eval "$1=${!1/$2/}"
return
fi
}
# the works
here="$(pwd)"
if ! test -d "${here}" ; then
echo "strange ... path not found '${here}'"
else
remove_path PATH "${here}"
export PATH
prepen_path PATH "${here}"
export PATH
fi
# cleanup
unset prepen_path
unset remove_path
# path.remove
# remove the current path from the PATH
# remove path
remove_path()
{
