Changing $PATH variable - OS X
I am trying to update my $Path variable. However, I am getting the message the executable needs to be in the PATH.
I used this command to update the path
But when you look at echo $PATH you get the following without my path above.
I uninstalled macports if that is the problem and went to homebrew instead.
I used this command to update the path
echo 'export PATH=/Users/rjw/Documents/Python' >>~/.bash_profile
But when you look at echo $PATH you get the following without my path above.
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-mac/tools
export PS1="rjw "
export PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
alias ll='ls -lahG'
export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/rjw/android-sdk-mac/tools:/usr/local/mysql/bin

This is more of a linux and bash question than just OS X.
After you ran your command, did you open a new Terminal window? Did you reload your Terminal. You current window won't load the .bash_profile until you've done something to reload it.
You can load it without restarting your terminal with the built-in source command:
source .bash_profile
You can start a new bash instance
bash
or if you want to reload your single instance,
exec bash
Your path command is also wrong. You will replace all paths with just your home folder.
You really need
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/Users/rjw/Docu
It also looks like macports added it's own path after yours, so the 2nd PATH setting won.
What are the current contents of your .bash_profile?
