Yes. I (1) made the change to .bash_profile, then (2) restarted the machine, then (3) logged in again. When I echo $PATH the /opt/lampp/bin is not included.

The .bash_profile is sourced by bash when it is invoked as an interactive login shell. Therefore you would need to log in after having made that change in order for bash to read the file and the effect to be seen. Did you log in after having made that change? Was bash invoked as an interactive login shell so that it would read that file? echo $0 echo $- Bob
