I know this sounds too obvious but are you sure your local user account is loading bash?
try export $PATH= whatever your path is then echo $PATH create another user account and if its path is correct try removing your bash files and copying over the skel ones if you dont know where they are just copy the ones over from the others user account . i had a similar problem once but i cant remember how i solved it i havnt used linux in a couple years sorry but i wish you luck :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jule Slootbeek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 5:22 PM Subject: PATH && .bash_profile q's > Hi i just installed j2sdk1.3.1 from www.penguinppc.org and when i wanted > to add the path /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/bin to the PATH variable in > /etc/profile i noticed after a reboot, that when i open a gnome-terminal > or rxvt, and echo $PATH it does not include any of the changes i made in > either /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile in the last file i have > CVSROOT=/var/lib/cvs and when i echo $CVSROOT i don't get anything, > unless i ssh to localhost.
