Export PATH to adb directory through bashrc

[Cypher2]

Hello :)

I,m having a rough time getting the terminal environment to recognize my android debug bridge path (which is set in a separate hdd)

I used to paste this in my bashrc, but then found that it would make the env system bonkers whenever i attempted sudoing with an option:

# Android Debug Bridge (ADB) sdk path
alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH'
export PATH=${PATH}:/media/Disk/Linux/Android/sdk/platform-tools/

The "alias" line was the one making me have a rough time with env.

Now that i got rid of it everything is well but adb's path isn't exported anymore.

Here's the output when I call an adb command:


bash: /media/Disk/Linux/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb: No such file or directory

Another forum guiding Ubuntu users (maverick specifically) does not use any other strategy, other than bashrc, which I've tried, their way, without any success...

Help?

have you checked ownership on your /media folder?

'which adb'
'alias adb'

please show output of those.

You need to call the alias after you create the PATH. ;) So:


export PATH=$PATH:/media/Disk/Linux/Android/sdk/platform-tools
alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH'


Verify that the drive is mounted:


mount|grep -i media
