What do you mean when you say you added the environmental variable at the end? It doesn't matter if it's in the beginning or end.

You didn't add "source ~/.bash_profile" to the PATH variable, did you? This is just to be typed in the terminal as a command.

are you logged in as root or some other user? if as another user, you can log in as root and edit the user's .bash_profile ( you may have to change some permissions to get access).
