Hi.

Try setting it in your $HOME/.profile.

It's safer to say

PATH=$PATH:<whatever you want to add>
or
PATH=<whatever you want to add>:$PATH

Then whenever you log in, it gets set. (you need to login again or execute ". ~/.profile" to make it effective)

(incidentally, this is not a Solaris question, but a general one)

And if you want to set it by default for all accounts, the best way is to uncomment and set the PATH variable in /etc/default/login.

of course (if I thought our friend was root, i'd have mentioned it!)

This is not a Solaris thing, this is general Unix.

Anways, good things start working for you.

/etc/default/login is mostly Solaris specific.
