Q:

how to change PATH vars on my iPhone console?

I installed a terminal i my iPhone and I'm trying to install some utilities on it. To achieve it the only thing I have left is to change the order of the PATH variables on the system but I cannot find the place where they're stored.
When I write $PATH I get
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games

I need to edit the path so the /usr/bin appears before of /usr/local/bin.
I've read sites where they tell me to edit ~/.bashrc, ~/.cshrc, ~/.profile or /etc/paths but none of them exist on my system (in fact in ~ there's just .bash_history and some unimportant directories)
I access to my iPhone (iOS 4.2.1) through ssh from a Leopard MacBook
Any ideas? Thanks

A:

If your .bashrc doesn't exist, you should be able to create it and set it in there:
PATH=$PATH:/extra/path/here:/other/path/here
export PATH

It would appear that you are indeed using bash as your shell since you have a .bash_history, but if you are using a separate shell it could be a separate file.
