The gtm_dist environment variable specifies the path to the directory containing the GT.M system distribution. gtm_dist must be defined for each user. Users may want to define gtm_dist in the login file, or as part of the default system environment.

You can define gtm_dist as follows:

    $ gtm_dist=<distribution directory>
    $ export gtm_dist

For example, if the GT.M distribution is in /usr/local/gtm, enter:

$ gtm_dist=/usr/local/gtm

gtm_dist is used to establish communications with the GT.M gtmsecshr daemon and for the location of GT.M components.

Add $gtm_dist to the system environment variable PATH as follows:

$ PATH=$PATH:$gtm_dist
$ export PATH
