Linux --- PATH not set

GRASS GRASS user
1

I have installed 4.2.1-v.20. I got it to start up, got through messages
from gis_set. What's happening, though, is that the paths in GIS.sh are
not set for the session. I am using bash.

I have been able to set the path manually after grass starts up.

I haven't been able (yet) to figure out whether I should set up these
paths myself? I suspect that for some reason the GIS.sh script is not
completely or normally finishing its work.

Can anyone make a suggestion?

Alan,

Are you activating grass using the script grass4.2 that is normally
installed in /usr/local/bin or are you using some other means? It
sounds like you might be bypassing that script.

For what it is worth, I am using tcsh on Linux Red Hat V5.1, and my
grass4.2 script contains an assignment to GISBASE environment variable
and then just exec's GIS.sh
