You are right that there are two possibilities of adjusting your environment to use /opt/local/bin/bash in your terminal instead of the bash version shipped with Mac OS X: a) change the login shell b) change the preferences of your terminal emulator Note that changing the login shell is more invasive as it requires changing system files. Also, in case bash from MacPorts ever becomes unusable, it's easier to recover if you still have a working login shell (recovery is possible in either case). Thus, I recommend to switch to bash by editing the preferences of your terminal emulator, which can easily be reverted by choosing "Login shell" again. Detailed instructions on the configuration of Terminal.app/iTerm2.app are in the wiki in the howto section: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/bash-completion#Step3:UsebashfromMacPortsinyourterminal Rainer _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
