I installed arm-linux-g++ and added its directory to PATH and it recognizes the command. But when I try it with sudo it says command not found. I even tried adding its directory to bashrc--root but still nothing changed. How can I fix it?

sudo specifically ignores your PATH variable and uses its own. Compare echo "$PATH" with sudo sh -c 'echo "$PATH"'. Either put the command in one of the paths sudo trusts, or supply the full path to that particular command.

  • @soroosh.strife for instance sudo cp /path/to/the/command /usr/local/bin/.

  • @geirha Wouldn't ln -s be better (as any updates to the command woundn't be reflected if you copy it) , or even fixing the path for sudo?
