bash load

bash load

[r]

I'm trying to set variables and aliases to /home/.bashrc 
but bash doesn't read it. I tried to change              
/etc/skel/.bashrc and /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bashrc     
but bash doesn't read thats too.                         
How can I do to make bash read my configuration file ?

That's a general bash question, not Cygwin-specific; I recommend looking here:

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/bash/

But the short answer is that bash reads either .bashrc (non-login
shell) or .bash_profile (login shell), but not both.  If you want the
stuff in your .bashrc to be loaded in a login shell, you need to
source it explicitly inside your .bash_profile via something like
this:

. "${HOME}"/.bashrc

Also make sure that the .bash files are in your actual home directory,
which is usually not /home but /home/YourUserName...

Type
  man bash
and then type
  /.bashrc
to search for '.bashrc'. That'll tell you where to put it.

Ok, it seems is solved putting .bash_profile in my $HOME dir.
But when I lunch cygwin before to appear bash login it appares
error messages :

Do you know why ?

my .bash_profile is

You edited the file with an editor that adds CRLF line endings.

Use d2u to remove the "\r"s.
