I am a bit confused right now about your setting so I suggest that we start over again but backup the existing settings. First move your bashrc to bashrc.old by using "mv .bashrc .bashrc.old" and let only the .profile in your Homedirectory. Do the same with your .profile or .bash_profile. Now no active bash Configfiles should be in your Homedirectory. What happens if you now try the /sw/bin/pathsetup.command? Does everythink work fine if so than something was meesed up and only god knows what or some persons more unix geeky than me. If this doesn't help go to the /etc directory and there you will find a bashrc file too. This is the systems default one. Take a closer look at it and see if it has something in it that is in opposite to your .bashrc in the Homedirectory. Maybe terminal gets confused and doesn't know which bashrc to read. By default the one in your homedirectory is read first and then the systems one. > in the .basrc file which *will* give me the /sw tree, still No, the .profile or .bash_profile *will* give you the /sw tree. > leaves out all of Gerben Wierda's $PATH changes since they reside > in /etc/profile. Should I 'souce' this file as well? Try it *but backup the old one*. HTH Eric Hoch -- ## Ansprechpartner Anwenderunterst�tzung, users-Mailingliste ## War unsere Hilfe erfolgreich?
