My $PATH has a trailing slash in the last directory path, is there any
way to remove it?

Instead you should try to investigate the cause. Candidates to look
into would be your account's ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc, and the scripts
below /etc/profile.d, should you have customized these.

Hi Ralf
Thank you.
  It was in the .profile - removed and problem went away.
Dumb huh!

There are situations in which that final slash is needed or at least useful. The one with which I am familiar is setting input paths for TeX or LaTeX. If you want tex or latex to descend the directory tree when looking for appropriate input (e.g. *.sty) files, you need that trailing slash.

cheers,
