Thanks Nick. I added the variables from your last email as best I could:<br>
<pre wrap="">export AEJHOME home/ubuntu/Downloads/aej90exe
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH $AEJHOME/lib
export PATH= $PATH:/usr/local/aejhome/bin</pre>
And when I open a shell I get:<br>
bash: export: `home/ubuntu/Downloads/aej90exe': not a valid identifier<br>
bash: export: `/lib': not a valid identifier<br>
bash: export:
`/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/aejhome/bin':
not a valid identifier<br>
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ <br>
<br>
<br>
ArcExplorer installed fine, according to the installer, but this part
isn't set up correctly-obviously.<br>
Perhaps this is too much to deal with and I may try to see if WINE will
run it.<br>
Thanks again!<br>

Thanks Nick. Would I just then create the .bashrc file in my home
directory and then do the commands as you've written in a shell as
opposed to adding the lines to the .bashrc file?<br>

Well, if the environment variables are needed to run the application
under your user account, you would add those lines to your existing
.bashrc. If you do not have a .bashrc you can create one, or copy the
one that should be in /etc/skel/.bashrc into your home directory and
edit the copy in your homedir.<br>
<br>
Once you have changed the contents of .bashrc you can tell the shell to
source the file by executing this command at the BASH prompt.<br>
<br>
source .bashrc
<div><br>
</div>
<div>which avoids the need to re-spawn a shell or logout/login.<br>
<br>
or if you are not in your homedir you can do this;<br>
<br>
source ~/.bashrc<br>
<br>
I hope the helps. If you want to see if the environment variables
propagated correctly, you can do that with by typing;<br>
<br>
export<br>
<br>
in the BASH shell. If you want to check environment data you can type
<div><br>
</div>
<div>/usr/bin/env</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>or (one some systems)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>/bin/env.</div>
