<div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Walter, thanks so much for the feedback as sometimes things unexpectedly are impacted by modifications and break. But I don't think that is the case here. The variable is not $CIN_BROWSER, but just CIN_BROWSER without the $ in front. Although I have no other browsers to test, I did the following and got the following result:</div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">[root@keystone bin]# CIN_BROWSER=firefox-developer-edition ./cin<br>Cinelerra Infinity - built: Jan 26 2021 09:26:19<br><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">...</div><div>/bin/bash: firefox-developer-edition: command not found</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">In addition. I used on the command line: CIN_BROWSER=vi ./cin</div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">and vi did come up in the terminal window. And just to be sure, I tried it as an ordinary user instead of root with the same results.<br></div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p> </p><p style="margin:0px"><br>yes, add the variable in .zshenv, because I use zsh, but beyond that it seems that cinelerra doesn't read the environment variables. because firefox is still</p><br><br><br><p style="margin:0px"><br></p>
