After reading | that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, | in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that | exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the | shell is started to inhibit this behavior. `---- Perhaps you need to source .bashrc in .bash_profile. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
