Re: Install Bashdb and Bash not as root

[lehe]

I just solve my problem by adding the path of my newly-installed bash to the
beginning of PATH. However I now have some new questions: 

1. The change to PATH is effective only in the current shell session. I was
wondering if it is possible to run the new bash instead of the old one
everytime it is lauched in terminal, putty and in emacs. Is there a place
where the change to PATH could be added and executed before bash starts,
like ".bashrc" for when bash is lauched?

2. Also in emacs, if I type "M-x bashdb", bashdb is not "matched". How shall
I set it up?

Thanks and regards!
