when I start bash and enter 'echo $path'. This is the path statement returned. Not sure how you've got things setup, but `echo $path` should result in an empty return statement. the variable is PATH not path, case sensitive. Or maybe you are thinking of tcsh syntax, where $path is a space-separated synonym for the colon-separated $PATH. tcsh syntax doesn't work in bash (hopefully, it is obvious why not), and your listing had colons, so even if you were to use tcsh with that $path you would have problems. -- Eric Blake cygwin bash maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I had the following line in .bashrc path=/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/qt/3.3/bin:$PATH (note the small letters at the beginning of the statement - CAPITALS ROSS, CAPITALS!)
