Your PATH is almost certainly set to include /usr/local/bin by the bash init scripts. There are various reasons why having a non-existing directory in your PATH is a bad idea, which is why fish removes it. Perhaps none of them are important enough to warrant the tiresome naging fish is putting you through, though. Perhaps it is a design choice in need of reevaluation. The easiest way to get rid of this is 'sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin', the best way is to run the command 'grep -R /usr/local/bin /etc' and locate where the PATH is set. > > -- > ###################################################### > # Troy J.
