Hi all, reraising a slightly stale thread as I've got the same issue. I'm a fairly recently convert to ubuntu from Windows and I'm still at the stage where I am most comfortable with things right there for the clicking, but I'm learning ;-) The suggestions above appear not to work for me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/PythonFiles$ pwd /home/brian/PythonFiles [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/PythonFiles$ cd ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/profile | grep 'export PYTHONPATH' export PYTHONPATH="~/PythonFiles" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .bash_profile | grep 'export PYTHONPATH' export PYTHONPATH="~/PythonFiles" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python Python 2.4.2 (#2, Sep 30 2005, 21:19:01) [GCC 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu8)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from sys import path >>> for p in path: ... if "PythonFiles" in p or "Numeric" in p: ... print p ... /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric >>> (I don't think it should matter, but I also tried the export line with "/home/brian" in place of "~" in both files. I also tried with a ';' trailing the single entry in my attempted PYTHONPATHs.) I don't know where to look for more information; I'm assuming that ubuntu isn't doing it the standard way bruno referred to above. Could some ubuntu user cast light, please?
