*** Bug 3709 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The following bug(s) cause an error every time a user tries to login or execute a shell, if their default shell is csh/tcsh. It also halts processing of the user's own customization files. The 8th line in /etc/profile.d/kde.csh says: kdepath="${KDEDIR}/bin" Because this is for csh, not sh, it should read: set kdepath="${KDEDIR}/bin" Also, lines 10 through 12 that read: if ( echo ${PATH} | grep -q ${kdepath} ) then exit endif should read echo $PATH | grep -q $kdepath && exit |
I upgraded to the kde 1.1.1 release posted to updates.redhat.com, and the next time I logged in, there was a syntax error reported prior to my .login or .cshrc being run. I tracked this down to syntax errors (at least under tcsh) in /etc/profile.d/kde.csh. According to the csh manual, these fixes should be there as well (ie, you can't use a pipeline inside an if() statement). --- kde.csh.orig Mon Jun 21 14:28:21 1999 +++ kde.csh Thu Jun 24 18:11:08 1999 @@ -5,8 +5,9 @@ endif endif setenv KDEDIR /usr -kdepath="${KDEDIR}/bin" -if ( echo ${PATH} | grep -q ${kdepath} ) then +set kdepath="${KDEDIR}/bin" +echo "${PATH}" | grep -q ${kdepath} +if ( ! $status ) then exit endif
