Not the best place, though many people will notice nothing wrong. When you enter a subshell, you get another modification of PATH at each and every level. Presumably you source or "dot in" .bashrc in your profile. If you want the lowdown, I always consult https://mywiki.wooledge.org/DotFiles (Neither he nor I uses a DM/DE.) > and I also use bash aliases similarly. Aliases are fine: you normally only expect them to work in interactive shells, and they don't grow like PATH and other environment variables when defined recursively. > I might have the install problem solved. Great. And thanks for posting text. Cheers, David.
