I'm using an IDE called Qt Creator but looking at the C++ stuff in it, it says that it can't find much of the inbuilt libraries. If I run 'echo$PATH', it's empty. But I've modified the ~/.bash_profile to look like this :- =============== [chris@localhost ~]$ cat ~/.bash_profile # .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc PATH=$PATH:/home/chris/qt/bin fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH unset USERNAME ===============
The question is, well 2 questions, 1, have I modified the correct file, and 2 if I have done the correct file, have I modified it in the correct way?
