Set <envar>TDEDIRS</envar> to a list of all the directories containing &tde; programs, separated by commas. For example, if you have &tde; programs in both <filename>/usr/local/kde</filename> and <filename>/home/phil/kde</filename>, you can use <userinput>export TDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use <application>bash</application> or <userinput>setenv TDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use sh. </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> </para> <!-- Add links to "further reading" here --> <itemizedlist> <title>Related Information</title> <listitem><para><ulink url="help:/khelpcenter/adminguide">The &tde; Administrator Guide</ulink> contains more information about the directories that &tde; uses.</para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> </sect1> <!-- Keep this comment at the end of the file Local variables: mode: xml sgml-omittag:nil sgml-shorttag:nil sgml-namecase-general:nil sgml-general-insert-case:lower sgml-minimize-attributes:nil sgml-always-quote-attributes:t sgml-indent-step:0 sgml-indent-data:true sgml-parent-document:("index.docbook" "book" "sect1") sgml-exposed-tags:nil sgml-local-catalogs:nil sgml-local-ecat-files:nil End: -->
