sorry I missed that bit LOL. Those path things usually get set in /etc/env.d/ - take a look in that dir, there are a whole lot of numbered files that set environment variables. they are execute in numerical order. Any package is free to insert a file there, but it doesn't pay to screw with it. The point being that when you upgrade kde the environment variable may not be reset until you re-read those files (which I think happens if you run env-update). > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
