[solved] [help] set environmental variable in "sudo"

hi,

I want to use "aurbuild" by "sudo",
but "aurbuild" responses:

[bsdson@bsdson ~]$ sudo aurbuild -s aaa
Password:
Editor environmental variable not set. Using nano...
Error: editor value "nano" not found on system.
[bsdson@bsdson ~]$

I don't want to install "nano" and have tried to add

export EDITOR=vim

in both root's .bashrc and .bash_profile with no help.

Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help and sorry for my poor English.

EDIT: Thank you very much!!
