I am using Scientific Linux 6.1. To run a program (DS9) I need to set this environment variable:
export XPA_METHOD=local
So I saved it in .bashrc and there is no problem when I run the program from the bash terminal. But when I run it in the GUI (for example by clicking on “Open with ds9” in nautilus), this variable is not recognized.
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me in setting the environment variable in GNOME.
Add it to ~/.profile instead of .bashrc
Edit: Log off and on again for the change to take effect.
