Title: How To Find This File?
Post by: blinkblob on September 15, 2005, 01:30:42 am

I've installed these perl files and cannot find the file they are asking me to modify.

Before you install Perl do the following:
# su
# cd /home/root
# ln -s /usr/local usr

Then install the following packages:

    * libperl - [libperl_5.6.1_arm.ipk]
    * perl-base - [perl-base_5.6.1_arm.ipk]
    * perl5 - [perl_5.6.1_arm.ipk]

  WHERE IS THIS FILE: I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE, THE ".profile file."  

Once the packages have been installed add the following to the .profile file:
export LANGUAGE=C
export LC_ALL=C

You might also want to do the following

You might also want to do the following
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=95887\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

You probably don't have one

So just make it or try putting the changes on .bash_profile or .bashrc

Note: in linux a . before a file name is used to make the file hidden. To see hidden files use ls -a rather than ls (sorry if you already knew this, just covering all bases)

Thanks for the info, Stu. Actually, I had forgotten that the . before a file is hidden and I had also forgotten that the ls -a will bring them up...
