k3b is missing

I use XFCE 4.2.1 and install only what is nessesary to run k3b. Everything was running smooth until the KDE 3.4 packages dropped. Now k3b is missing. Well actually, let me be more specific:

/opt/kde/bin/k3b

will start k3b

just going "k3b" will produce this:

[root@johnsbox john]# k3b
bash: k3b: command not found

Now im assuming there is some sort of easy way to make "k3b" point to where its supposed to, but the fact that it just somehow quit working by itself made me raise questions. Any help is appriciated, thank you.

Re: k3b is missing

Check if /opt/kde/bin is in your path.

echo $PATH

Re: k3b is missing

I have had the same problem.  I checked by echo $PATH but found not KDE listed there.  Can you tell me where I would change my path settings?  I have also had the same problem with evolution.  Any ideas with that one?

Re: k3b is missing

Add the line

PATH=$PATH:/opt/kde/bin

to $HOME/.bashrc.  If you want this path to be accessible to everyone add it to /etc/profile.

Re: k3b is missing

You should do:
source /etc/profile.d/kde.sh

That is supposed to be done automatically when you login.

Thanks for the tips.  Editing the /etc/profile worked like a charm.
