User Application search path

[xkjdhdg]

Can someone tell me where to set the search path for applications. I have several programs that use other LIB directories. I am running C shell on a Ultra 450 Solaris 8 or 5.8. I thought it was .cshrc but when I do a which. I get a totally different path.

How are you setting yor path in C Shell?
If it is relatively small you can use:
setenv PATH /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/blah
For larger paths I would set it as follows

set path =( /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/openwin/bin /usr/dt/bin /usr/ccs/bin /usr/local/sbin )

I have been use a .cshrc file and yes I do have a large search. I think it is about four lines.
Is there a file the system reads when you login.

/etc/.login
~/.cshrc
~/.login

My system does not have a .cshrc in /etc or a .login

The .cshrc and .login are in your home directories. There is a default .login in /etc but, there should not be a path environment set. Type command "set" or $PATH and look at the path entry... You may want to verify that you default shell is the c-shell... Use command "env | grep SHELL

or echo $SHELL?

Can you post your .cshrc?

I can but it will be Monday before I can do that. I have resolved some of my problem. The system still has issues with the search path.
