#15104: Setting Path Variables in Leopard --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: autumn.ahlers@gmail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by raimue@macports.org): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: No, this doesn't work right. We already evaluated /etc/path.d and /etc/manpath.d in trunk. Paths added in /etc/path.d are always appended *at the end* the current PATH. But usually you want stuff installed by MacPorts to 'hide' the system's default versions. Also, we don't want to add MacPorts system wide by default, but on a per-user basis. Exporting PATH in `.profile` will always work and it is definitely not temporarily. Note that you maybe have a `.bash_profile` which takes precedence over `.profile`.
