[Pyqt-mac-list] Newbie needs more detailed instruction

[Simon J. <sim...@aa...>]

Hi Kevin,
         Thanks for the reply.  I'm sorry, but I'm a bit ignorant on this topic.
Can you (or anyone on the list) give me more detailed instructions than those on 
the webpage for editing or creating ~/.profile.  I don't know where or
what this is.

Thanks,
Simon
 
 I"m not sure what the problem is with your menu, but your setup doesn"t
 look quite right with bash. It"s not recommended that you hack the
 system-level /etc/profile file: try setting up ~/.profile as outlined in
 the web page.
 
 Cheers,

PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin""

 | DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
 | export QTDIR PATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
