.bashrc does not add compiler directives to path

[anusiya]

Hi y'all,

I have this peculiar problem. My compiler installation was without issues. When I added the line in my .bashrc "source /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/073/bin/iccvars.sh intel64", ran "source ~/.bashrc" without any error and type "icc", I get an error "icc: command not found". Yet when I type out "source /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/073/bin/iccvars.sh intel64" at terminal, then icc works.

If it helps my distro is Ubuntu 10.04 with 2.6.32-24 kernel.

Thanks!
Anusiya

Did you set echo temporarily in .bashrc to see if the command actually executes (and that you don't mess up PATH later)?

Hi tim18,

If you meant I added a line 'echo $PATH' at the end of my .bashrc, yes I did that before and it displays my path variables correctly. But the complier variables are not listed there.

No, for diagnostic purposes, you would want to see each command in .bashrc executing.
