Setting PATH

Any user who wishes to run the tools in this distribution needs to make sure her PATH environment variable can find the tools. Whether you install in the default location:

/usr/cygnus/progressive-95q4

or in an alternate location, you need to alter your PATH environment variable to point toward the newly installed tools.

If you create the symbolic links we recommend (see section Links for easy access and updating), users who want to run the Developer's Kit---regardless of whether they need binaries for your particular host, or for some other platform--can use settings like one of the following in their initialization files.

This example shows `/usr/progressive/bin' as the final linked installation directory. If you installed into a directory other than this, substitute the actual directory for `/usr/progressive/bin'.

For Bourne-compatible shells (/bin/sh, bash, or Korn shell):

PATH=/usr/progressive/bin:$PATH
export PATH

For C shell:

set path=(/usr/progressive/bin $path)
