Pardon me if I misunderstand, but I just added this line to ~/.bashrc:
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

Exited bash and reopened bash.
echo $PATH returned the old path with "/home/mike/bin:" in front of it.

Subject: [patch] adding ~/bin to path


I just had some one complain that their own bin dir wasn't being
picked up like it was on Linux... the fix was a trivial addition
to /etc/profile I had put on my own machine ages ago without even
thinking about it.
