The following URL will help you to understand how PATH works in Linux, and how to set or append paths on a user or global basis.
Since I installed Mandrake 8 a few days ago (bye bye MS) this has been one of my most curious questions. The document linked below will help you to deal with future installation issues that have path problems (*cough* Limewire).

Hope this helps all people who have had trouble understanding how to set PATHS, I know it helped me.
Keep up the great open source work Limewire!
