At the command line, run:

echo $PATH

to see the path.

I'm not sure where OS X sets the PATH, but Linux systems normally set 
them in /etc/profile. User-customisations should go in a shell rc file, 
e.g. if you are using bash, edit ~/.bashrc.

To add additional paths to the PATH:

export $PATH=$PATH:/some/directory:/another/directory


To replace the system path completely:

export $PATH=/some/directory:/another/directory
