further. But feel free to add your own directories of
scripts, data, color palettes, and external functions to your
~/.my_ferret_paths
.~/.ferret_paths_ac
, which was being sourced by their ~/.cshrc
when opening an HPCS session. A solution is to edit the ~/.cshrc
(or ~/.login
) file, replacing any "source ~/.ferret_paths_ac
"
lines with source ~/.ferret_paths
~/.ferret_paths_ac
file can then be deleted, or moved
to a backup directory. (The same goes for ~/.ferret_paths_686
,
which is also obsolete.)~/.login
or ~/.cshrc
.
Note that it's more efficient to "source" these ferret_paths files from
your ~/.login
, rather than your ~/.cshrc
. The
changes will appear the next time you login.
