PATH in KDE
Hello,
Maybe this is something obvious, but it has me stuck. How do I get KDE to use the same PATH as my environment variable? When I put a newer version of a program in /usr/local/bin, KDE still wants to run the old version even though in my PATH /usr/local/bin comes first.
Thanks,

RE: PATH in KDE
this is normally a shell issue i think, not a KDE specific one.
try to run ldconfig, and/or start a new shell or new tab in konsole
normally, the latter ALWAYS works for me
(PS: Btw even though off-topic, this is one reason why using Gobolinux like file-layout would be an advantage, since you could just re-symlink to the version you want to use, instead of using only /usr vs /usr/local)
Still doesn't seem to have any effect. In a shell if I do a whereis firefox it's using the /usr/local/firefox but when KDE calls firefox it finds /usr/firefox.
And on a side note, as I install my own programs I do use a Gobolinux-type hierarchy for a lot of them. Don't suppose that could be causing the problem since /usr/local/firefox is a symlink to the actual program?
