I was lurking on the list, and read these mails:
Robert T Wyatt wondered why the terminal login produced this line:
-bash: alias: aqua: not found
Benjamin Reed observed:
It looks like you've got something setting a bad alias in ~/.profile
or ~/.bashrc (or there's a fink package doing so, in /sw/etc/profile.d)
I concur. It seems like a bad alias. The alternative that the "alias"
command is not available seems less likely, since the error would
probably have been "bash: alias: command not found: in that case.
So, it is probably a bad alias line, like this:
> alias test= aqua
This is bad, because unlike the tcsh shell, the bash shell does not
allow a space before or behind the "=". Indeed, the above line produces
this error in my bash shell:
"bash: alias: aqua: not found"
Now, the .profile Robert quoted does not contain such a line, so it must
be included in an other file.
The default files bash parses are:
/etc/profile
~/.bash_profile
or ~/.bash_login
or ~/.profile (This is where environment variables are defined)
~/.bashrc (This is where aliases and options are defined)
$BASH_ENV (This file is run if $BASH_ENV is set)
we can exclude .profile and .bashrc, so the other options are
/etc/profile and the files fink includes.
Robert, can you run this command and see what comes back?
$ grep "aqua" /etc/profile /sw/bin/init.sh /sw/etc/profile.d/*
If one of these files contains a line like
alias test= aqua
Then change it to
alias test=aqua
If the file is somewhere in the /sw directory, please report back to the
list, so that it can be fixed in fink.
Regards,
Freek
