From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Juha Jäykkä" To: gnu-win32 Subject: .BASHRC-problem Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 15:16:00 -0000 Message-id: <34BE3D4E.5943B5F3@utu.fi> X-SW-Source: 1998-01/msg00341.html As this problem is not discussed in any of the www-help pages (that I could find) and I couldn't find it in archives too, I'd like to ask it here. I keep losing my environment variables I set within my .bashrc. A screenshot of the situation may clarify this. Here you go: --clip-- juhaj@IO 18:20:22 /obj>echo $PATH /bin juhaj@IO 18:20:26 /obj>cat ~/.bashrc #!/bin/sh.exe PATH=$PATH:/home/juhaj/bin export PATH echo Test: $PATH juhaj@IO 18:20:35 /obj>~/.bashrc Test: /bin://d/cygnus/b18/tcl/bin:/home/juhaj/bin juhaj@IO 18:20:42 /obj>echo $PATH /bin juhaj@IO 18:20:47 /obj> --clip-- Obviously it does not "keep" the exported variable but it also sets it all wrong! Where did the "//d/cygnus/b18/tcl/bin:" part come from??? I am at a total loss here. When I export variables, they should always be global, am I right? Any ideas or fixes?
