I am using Lubuntu 12.04.

I am having problems setting the path variable for my application.

I am trying to set the path variable in the .profile file, however after adding the path when I echo $PATH, it does not show my addition.

Here is the line I am adding at the end of the .profile after the 'fi'

export PATH=$PATH:/home/treedev/lib/Qt/bin

Please let me know what I am doing wrong. When I run the above command directly in the bash shell, it works, which leads me to believe I am doing something wrong, but I can't seem to figure out where I am wrong.

Thanks for your time.
