PATH variable in .zshenv or .zshrc

Question

My setup is zsh 5.0.5 in arch linux

I have set the PATH variable as below in .zshenv

typeset -U path
path=(~/bin $path)
DW=$HOME/Downloads

Answer 1

I've got the same problem. The cause was my .zshrc (fresh install of oh-my-zsh) override PATH (ignoring existing value):

export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/core_perl"

To fix, I comment the line.
