[QUOTE="jon232, post: 1317514, member: 220594"] Hello, can anyone tell me why OS X Lion won't save my PATH when I add a new path to it? I use export PATH=$PATH:/"my_pathhere" to add the path that I want added. Upon typing echo $PATH before I close the terminal window it shows up in the path. However, once I exit the terminal window and re-open it the new path variable no longer shows up? I don't get it. I have just upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard and did this exact same thing no longer than a week ago in Snow Leopard and had no problem. :Confused: [/QUOTE]
