Lest I lead anyone new reading this astray, the:
"export PATH="$PATH:/home/leverett/bin" command, it turns out; only
worked for as long as I was logged on. When I exited my user account it
deleted my appended directory from the PATH. So I had to keep exporting
it each time I logged on again. So... What I ended up doing was creating
a ".profile" file in my home directory, then I wrote this line in the
".profile" file:
PATH=$PATH":/home/leverett/bin"
That worked, now my directory remains in the PATH. When I logout and
logback on again, it's still there. Now I can figure out how to write
some C code.
Cheers,
