it's ok for one to refer to the other, but creates an error when both
refer to each other.
The construct above is in ~/.bash_profile which is only called during an initial login. It calls $HOME/.bashrc which
in turn may call /etc/bashrc. /etc/bashrc does not call any other script.
Maybe the mistake is that that same command is in the .bashrc pointing back to
itself.
But I am also using package users method, so I might have picked something up with that, though my memory is that the
error was in the lfs or blfs book.
I now have "source /root/.bash_profile" in .bashrc.
The unique issue was that I only got the error when I typed a correct password for root, but would not error if I
crooted into root. And I think it would not error if I started it up and signed in as root, but su from root to root
would give the error.
I got my situation fixed, but since it sounded a little like what was happening
to the OP, I though I'd post about it.
