Title Adding the current working directory to search path
Ref. No. QNX.000010419
Category(ies) Configuration
Issue After compiling and linking a program I wrote I can't run it. The file exists in the directory but when I try to run it I get "<filename> not found".
Solution The current working directory is not in your PATH environment variable. You can run your program as is by adding './' infront of your program name
eg. ./hello

To add the current working directory to your path so that you won't need the './', add the following line to your /home/<username>/.profile file:
export PATH=$PATH:.
(Note: that's a colon and period that follows $PATH)
