Using Redhat 6.0 w/ Gnome/enlightenment when I go to a terminal window with my shell set as /bin/bash, my .bashrc fails to get sourced. I have some sort of .bashrc working as a default, however I don't know where it is loading from. I have been using tcsh with no problems, however, when I switched to bash last night, my .bashrc failed to load, and still continues to not load. I have no tried this in text mode from the command prompt, only in Gnome. Mike Saunders saunders
What type of shell are you starting?? A gnome-terminal, xterm, color-xterm?? I use the gnome-terminal and xterm here in the office and have no problems getting my .bashrc sourced.
This really sounds like a config issue, but let's see the contents of /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile, and ~/.bashrc.
This problem appears resolved.
