You can set MCPATH in two ways:
If you do not define MCPATH, the McIDAS-X start-up script sets MCPATH to the value below.
$HOME/mcidas/data:$HOME/mcidas/help:~mcidas/data:~mcidas/help |
To change MCPATH's value, exit McIDAS-X, set MCPATH to the new value, and restart McIDAS-X. Run a Unix command (substitute the equivalent if using C shell) similar to the one below to explicitly set MCPATH.
export MCPATH; MCPATH=$HOME/data:$HOME/mcidas/data:~mcidas/data:~mcidas/help |
To set this value of MCPATH each time you log on to your account, add the command above to your $HOME/.mcenv file and add the following line to your $HOME/.profile (ksh) or $HOME/.cshrc (csh) file.
. $HOME/.mcenv |
When you start McIDAS-X, the temporary directory created, for example, $HOME/.mctmp/356052, is appended to the MCPATH value, whether the McIDAS-X start-up script sets MCPATH or you set its value.
