cousinp:
My system upgraded and the path I had for the fpc was no longer working. I tried to redo it but I messed up and think I destroyed the path that had to be amended with the fpc path. How do I get back to the original system advanced environment variables. there are user variables and system variables. Where do I add the path for the fpc.
thanks,

Bart:
What OS?

Can you be more specific? What was upgraded, exactly? What path were you using before, and how is it not working now?

It is unlikely that the OS maintains any kind of history of environment variables, so if you messed them up, you are going to have to manually re-edit them to remove your changes. This is why it i not advisable to manually mess around with environment variables without knowing what you are doing.

"user variables and system variables" likely implies Windows.

If you are using Linux, I have something like this at the end of my .bashrc (so I can easily switch compilers) -

--- Code: Pascal [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} ---FPCV='fpc-3.2.3'export OLD_PATH="$PATH"# use OLD_PATH like this -# export PATH="$HOME/bin/FPC/fpc-3.2.2/bin":"$OLD_PATH"export PATH="$HOME/bin/FPC/$FPCV/bin":"$PATH"
