Hello,
I have cygwin installed on Windows XP and for some reason my .bashrc file
isn't loaded on startup. I read the FAQ "Why doesn't bash read my .bashrc
file on startup?" but my HOME environment variable is set up i.e. when I
echo $HOME it is correct. I actually copied my .bashrc to the root
directory and it still doesn't load.
Could someone explain how I can set up my .bashrc?
Many thanks,
Dave
P.S. Here's the FAQ from
http://cygwin.com/1.7/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bashrc
7. Why doesn't bash read my .bashrc file on startup?
Your .bashrc is read from your home directory specified by the HOME
environment variable. It uses /.bashrc if HOME is not set. So you need to
set HOME (and the home dir in your /etc/passwd entry) correctly.
