Subject:	setting environment variables from a bash script
Date:	Sat, 21 May 2005 09:36:04 +0100

X-IsSubscribed:	yes

Is it possible to set an environment variable using a bash script and for 
that variable to be able to be seen within bash once the script is 
finnished.

I want to be able to set the path using a script so I can say :-

        ./gcc-3.4.3

calling a script simular to this :-

        ~~~~ gcc-3.4.3 ~~~~
        #! /bin/sh
        set PATH=/usr/gcc-3.4.3/bin:${PATH}
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

which will then set the path from then on.

Hope you can help,

Aaron
