http://linuxexchange.org/questions/628/how-do-i-specify-path-for-x-applications<p>I have some custom compilers installed on some custom path(/opt/uClinux/...) and added</p> <pre><code>export PATH=$PATH:/opt/uClinux/bfin-elf/bin:/opt/uClinux/bfin-uclinux/bin:/opt/uClinux/bfin-linux-uclibc/bin/ </code></pre> <p>to my .bashrc .
