How to keep from duplicating path variable in csh

Question

It is typical to have something like this in your cshrc file for setting the path:

set path = ( . $otherpath $path )

but, the path gets dup

Answer 1

I always set my path from scratch in .cshrc. That is I start off with a basic path, something like:

set path = (. ~/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/ucb /usr/bin/X11)

(depending on the system).

And then do:

set path = ($otherPath $path)

to add more stuff
