ianw1974 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Maybe the path didn't get updated, and you need to either logout or process the /etc/profile with: source /etc/profile Logging out is better, but you can do this temporarily to see if it works. Reason is that if you close the console prompt, and open again, you'd have to rerun the above command to update your environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmpatrick Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 PATH is the group of directories that will be automatically searched for an executable file. If an executable is in PATH, you don't need to give the entire path to the executable; you just type the executable name at the command prompt. To get a listing of all directories included in PATH, run: $ echo $PATH If whatever executable was installed by that rpm is not in a directory in PATH, you have a problem. To find out where w3c is installed run: $ rpm -ql <full name of rpm> which should list all the files installed by the package. From there you can get the location of w3c. If it's not in PATH, you can create a link to w3c in /usr/bin and that should fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
