Hi, I'm trying to upgrade the KDE 3.2 with Konstruct and I have a question which is so simple I can't believe I havn't found the answer already. I had a few hangups compiling to begin with, but after installing the proper stuff it seems to be working.
now, they want me to put the following in the .bash_profile
export QTDIR=~/kde3.2
export KDEDIR=~/kde3.2
export KDEDIRS=~/kde3.2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/kde3.2/lib
export PATH=~/kde3.2/bin:$PATH
My question, where on earth is my .bash_profile .profile ...etc
I know this is a newbie question, but I've done every search I can think of and can't find an answer.
I tried the /etc/bashrc file and also the /etc/skel/bashrc and either they aren't working right or I'm doing something wrong. If I do have to use those general files instead of one for each user I think that KDE won't work right for other users besides the one I'm compiling this for since the actual KDE install is in my home directory (/root)
I tried adding the line $HOME/.profile in both the /etc/bashrc and the etc/skel one and tried making some aliases in a .profile I created in my home directory, none of which worked when I logged back in.
Akk, can someone straighten me out?
thanks,
