Dear Bob,
Thank you for that reminder of my mortality.

I suspect that the permissions on /usr/bin/bash are preventing you
from running it. What does this following say?
ls -ld /usr/bin/bash
Also, /usr/bin/bash is not a normal location for bash. Normally bash
would reside in /bin/bash . Perhaps you also have one there?
ls -ld /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/bash

Argh! I guess I get to REMOVE the bash I installed in
error in that piece of junk location.
So much for compiling by myself.
I must remember to set the proper --prefix in the configure
process; dueling bashes just doesn't make it.
Shalom,
John B. Brown.
