Hi All

if you put

PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin

at the end of your ~/.profile

then, in a Konsole box you will have
PATH=original_path:/opt/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:/opt/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin

But MANPATH works correctly!

Any idea on what is going on?

thanks

Sam

Well, I think that you allready had /opt/intel/... in your $PATH.
Delete it in your ~/.profile and look again at $PATH.

No sir.

I've been investigating. ~/.profile is called twice during login as is
~/.bashrc. The latter is also called whenever a new shell is created.

Seems a case of carelessness on the part of SUSE here on such a simple
matter.

I do not know what system script(s) calls these user scripts. I think /etc
X11/xdm.Xsession calls them.
