CS 551: How to use ~cs551

First you'll need to make some changes to your account. These changes will create an environment variable named CS551OSTYPE that describes what type of machine you are using, and then set a number of paths based on that system type. To your .profile add these lines (note the quote marks on the first line are "backticks", and not the standard quote marks):



CS551OSTYPE=`uname -s | tr A-Z a-z`
export CS551OSTYPE
if [ "$CS551OSTYPE" = irix64 ] ; then
export CS551OSTYPE=irix
fi
PATH=$PATH:/home/cs551/bin/$CS551OSTYPE
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/cs551/lib/$CS551OSTYPE
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/home/cs551/man
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH MANPATH
