"HOME" and "PATH" are so-called "environment" variables. You can change them in the initialization files of your shell (command-line interpreter). Which file depends on which shell you use: Try the command "echo $SHELL" to find out. If it is "bash", you can add something like the following lines in the ".bash_profile" file in your home directory [1]: #---CUT--- # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}" fi #---CUT--- Best, Gilles [1] You must log in again for the change to take effect. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
