Environment variables in Ubuntu 11.10

Hello,

I have recently installed the most current 64-bit version of the commercial intel linux fortran compiler on Ubuntu 11.10. The install went smoothly, and I activate the product with the provided software key.
In the final step where you set the environment variable using

sudo ./compilervars.sh intel64

I get no response from the terminal and the command "ifort" will not call the compiler.
I've heard you can set the path variable through editing .bashrc, however I'm not sure what path to give it.

Thanks!

That would be
source /compilervars.sh intel64
When you have the command working from the keyboard, you can add it to .bashrc if you so choose.
