Hi,
thanks for help.
What is your shell? Let's say it's bash. Bash uses either
~/.bash_profile if it exists, or falls back to ~/.profile.
To export a environment variable from it means to
`export
XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/path/to/your/profile1:$HOME/path/to/your/profile2:$XDG_DATA_DIRS`,
and so on.

I created profiles through the help of Gary.
He advised me to do that, so that I haven´t too many packages in my
Hi Gfp,
I would suggest that you do not run multiple profiles simultaneously. You will
probably run into problems, since if a library requires an interpreter and it's
not in the profile it won't work, and one library will not know about another
unless they are in the same profile.
