Problem occur when installing cross compiler in fedora

Hello all,
I install cross compiler in fedora. Then I run command "arm-linux-gcc -v".
It shows Gcc version. I close terminal and again write "arm-linux-gcc -v".
so it give error command not found. Then I open gedit by type in terminal
"gedit /etc/profile" and close it without anything done on it just open
gedit and close it. Then write "source /etc/profile" in terminal and write
arm-linux-gcc -v. so it gcc version. Then again I close terminal and write
arm-linux-gcc -v so it give error command not found. so I want to ask why
this happen. did I install correctly or is there any other problem
please give solution

For Ubuntu the file that is modified to include the path to your compiler
is in your home directory, ie /home/bashrc.

Are you putting the full path to your compiler into /etc/profile?

Are you aware if you open a terminal session and on the command line type
in the path to your compiler then type "arm-linux-gcc -v" if t will be
found ... but when you close that terminal session then the path is lost?

I am confused by your sequence of steps, however the above may help.

... if t = it!

Thanks davef for your reply. 
Yes I add the full path in etc profile. I can also show you path,
"/opt/EmbedSky/4.3.3/bin", this is the path and I add this path by invoking
 this command "Gedit /etc/profile"

thanks

Do you still have the problem?

Do recall, years ago, that there were some differences between Fedora and
Ubuntu when cross-compiling.

Have you searched this site for <fedora>?
