My desktop $PATH is this: echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games The convention is for commercial software to install in /opt but that would appear to assume that you are building a fully fledged GUI-based application that would be called from a desktop menu, not a command line. Your immediate fix is to run 'export $PATH=$PATH:/opt' from a terminal but I would change the install path to /usr/local. s/ > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ > -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood "TBA are particularly glib"
