The install script says

"I will now create the filename database,
add $bindir to your PATH, and run
   texconfig init
to initialize your system and create 
format files. The log of this will be placed in
$TEXDIR/texconfig.log

You should make sure that $bindir
is added to your PATH for future sessions."

I don't really see what else I can do. I certainly dont propose to try 
and edit your .login/.profile/.bashrc/.cshrc/.kshrc file....
