[SUSE] Cant set the wx-config path Topic is solved

[rodrigod]

I am new to this linux thing, and i am getting my a** kicked every day by it. Our recent fight is trying to set my PATH to wx-config.

First I did the default installation on the manual, with mkdir, configure, make, make install and ldconfig. Then I decided to use multiple configurations.

So i made 2 other configurations, first mkdir, configure and make. I was told there was no need for make install and ldconfig.

On my terminal i type wx-config --libs core it returns:
-L/usr/local/lib -pthread -lwx_gtk2_core-2.8
Then I type PATH=/path/to/my/config=$PATH
So back to wx-config --libs core and great:
-L/home/rodrigo/wxGTK-2.8.9/dinDebug/lib -pthread -Wl,-rpath,/home/rodrigo/wxGTK-2.8.9/dinDebug/lib -lwx_gtk2d_core-2.8
it seems Ok right? wrong!!! All I need to do is close the terminal and open it again and it forgot all about my PATH change. I've tried doing it as root user, same thing.

I am almost breaking my pc because I think its just doing it out of spite, but I will give it another chance if anyone here has got the kind heart to help.

Thanks

You can change PATH permanently this way : http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm

Maybe this will help: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm. If you set the PATH in the console then it will naturally disappear when you terminate the console.

Edit: Too slow! ;)
