JHBuild Manual Update

The JHBuild Manual has the following lines:

To permanently add ~/.local/bin to the PATH variable, run the following command:

$ echo PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin >> ~/.bashrc

Running this command makes it impossible to run a program from the jhbuild shell, because the PATH that gets set in the .bashrc file is overriding the path that gets set by jhbuild.

instead, 

mkdir bin
cd bin
ln -s ../.local/bin/jhbuild 

Then, logging out and logging back in fixes the problem.

However, bug #669754 fixes the problem completely as it installs the jhbuild script in ~/bin.

I am attaching a patch against the JHBuild Manual to match the changes in bug #669754.
Comment 1 Marcin Wojdyr 2012-07-11 23:15:44 UTC 
in the line
echo PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin >> ~/.bashrc
$PATH should be escaped/quoted.
I think that's what caused problem for the reporter.
