Hi Harry:

Right - but there are going to be lots of scripts that require those
settings (srfsh for example).

Rather than pollute each script with environment settings, I've
documented how to set up compile and runtime environment variables for
Evergreen on Gentoo at
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_prerequisites_on_gentoo#compile_and_runtime_environment

Adding the PATH entry to that would make a lot of sense. Also, of
course, .bashrc or other approaches would be equally valid. As long as
we document it the "right" way for each distro / OS then I think we're
covered.
