# 2.2. `PATH` Environment Variable and Utilities

Make sure that directory where you you have installed the GNU tools is one of the first entries in the shell search `PATH` environment variable. For example, if you have installed the utilities in the (default) directory `/usr/local/bin`, this should be one of the first entries in the `PATH`. For example:

        PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin

If you are compiling the distribution on a Solaris system you will need to use the utilities in the `/usr/ccs/bin` directory. This directory must be in the `PATH` after the directory where the GNU utilities have been installed. For example:

        PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin

Check to see that the GNU make utility and not the default OS make is being used by default. Use `make -v` to determine what version you are using:

`h4: {1} %` `make -v`
GNU Make version 3.78, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
