Hrrm, my actual .profile entry is more complicated than that, and I
just realized that I oversimplified it here. What you want to do is
also test to make sure that the bash you can find will run:
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/bash ]; then
if /usr/local/bin/bash --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then
exec /usr/local/bin/bash --login
fi
fi
otherwise you're stuck in the same boat by exec'ing something that's
going to fail because of the missing library.
Sorry for the confusion,
Doug
