Adding mysql to my .bashrc PATH

Question

Ok, maybe I'm doing something really stupid. I'm on OSX 10.6.1. I want to add mysql to my path, so I add the following to my .bashrc ``` PATH = ${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin export PATH ``` upon running terminal, it doesn't work, which I expect, because .bash_profile is not loading .bashrc at the moment. but if I manually enter bash, i get the following error ``` bash: PATH: command not found ``` What am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

you can't have any spaces. In other words, your PATH setting command should be:

```
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin
```

Note the removal of the spaces between PATH, =, and ${PATH}
