CS 551-0003: How to use ~cs551dl

First you'll need to make some changes to your account. These changes will create an environment variable named MYSYS that concisely 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:

MYSYS=`uname -s`.`uname -r`
export MYSYS
PATH=$PATH:/home/cs551dl/bins/scripts/:/home/cs551dl/bins/$MYSYS
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/cs551dl/libs/$MYSYS
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/home/cs551dl/man
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH MANPATH
