Verifying the setting of environment variables
You can verify the setting of environment variables that InfoPrint set or appended
during InfoPrint installation by doing the following procedures.
Verifying the setting of the PATH environment variable
During the installation process, InfoPrint updates the AIX
PATH
environment
variable to include the directory location of the InfoPrint executable files; InfoPrint
appends
/usr/lpp/pd/bin
and
/usr/lpp/psf/bin
to the paths already specified.
To verify that the
PATH
environment variable is set and contains
/usr/lpp/pd/bin
and
/usr/lpp/psf/bin
, enter the command:
echo $PATH
Verifying the setting of the PDBASE environment variable
During the installation process, InfoPrint adds the InfoPrint
PDBASE
environment
variable to the
/etc/environment
file and specifies
/var/pd
as the working directory
where InfoPrint stores its object code.
To verify that the
PDBASE
environment variable is set and contains
/var/pd
, enter
the command:
echo $PDBASE
Verifying the setting of the MANPATH environment variable
During the installation process of an InfoPrint Manager server or an InfoPrint
Manager client, InfoPrint appends
:/usr/share/man/$LANG
to the value of this
variable. The
:/usr/share/man/$LANG
directory is the location of the
cat7
subdirectory, which contains the InfoPrint man pages.
$LANG
is the locale.
To verify that the
MANPATH
environment variable is set and contains
:/usr/share/man/$LANG
, enter the command:
echo $MANPATH
