just a guess but I say your problem is there. The shell did not expand the ~ when setting the path. on my debian system running bash: aphro@defiant:~$ set | grep PATH PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/home/aphro/bin _=PATH aphro@defiant:~$ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH aphro@defiant:~$ set | grep PATH PATH=/home/aphro/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/home/aphro/bin _=PATH the ~ was expanded ....maybe you could try $HOME instead of ~ that may be more compadible accross shells. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
