I think I found why this happened. At least, I reproduced the same behavior in a fresh new installation when I added the following lines to my .profile
cd $ROOTSYS . bin/thisroot.sh cd $HOME The shell script sets environment variables important for running the CERN root analysis software. I guess the problem was the last line where I switched to the home folder.
