    I have installed this compiler for some testing work and am not 100%
    sure where to put the references listed.

    ************ Excerpt from Install Instructions

    The programs in the Intel Fortran Compiler 9.0 for Linux product rely on
    the environment variables PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The installation
    script (install.sh) creates compiler environment script files
    (ifortvars.sh/idbvars.sh) that set these variables. It is strongly
    recommended that you add those script files into your login script
    (.login file). Once the variables are set in the ".login" file there is
    no need to run the script files for each session.

    source the script to setup the compiler environment:

          * > source <install-dir>/bin/ifortvars.sh(.csh)
            to use ifort
          * > source <install-dir>/bin/idbvars.sh(.csh)
            to use idb
    ******************

    Should I put the paths to the script files in my .bash_profile or
    in /etc/profile so that all users (me) can use it?

    Would there be a particular format to doing this?

    Tried searching the RH Enterprise manuals and having a look through the
    messages that I have kept. There was the "Running a script at boot"
    thread to put the scripts in rc.local to run at boot but would this be
    the right place to start setting up environment variables?

    Also my rc.local has the line: "touch /var/lock/subsys/local" Which
    means / does what?

    Thanks
     Dave
