Setting the Path Variables

After installing the software, you must set the environment variables PATH and MANPATH.

The general requirements are as follows:

• Modify your PATH variable to include /usr/sbin, /usr/lib/lvm, and /etc/lvm.

  If you do not set this path, you may get other versions of the software.

• Modify your MANPATH to include /usr/share/man.

  If you do not set this path, you could get man pages for the wrong release, or no man pages at all.

You can set these paths by using an editor to change your $HOME/.profile or ~/.cshrc file, as follows.

If you installed DiskSuite in the default directory, and:

• If you're using the Bourne shell, your $HOME/.profile file should have lines like this:

  PATH=/usr/sbin:/etc/lvm:/usr/lib/lvm:$PATH MANPATH=/usr/share/man:$MANPATH export PATH MANPATH

• If you're using the C shell (csh.1), the ~/.cshrc file should have lines that look something like this:

  set path = (/usr/sbin,/usr/lib/lvm,/etc/lvm:$path) setenv MANPATH /usr/share/man:$MANPATH
