Hello, I just installed cygwin and ran a cygcheck (attached - errors occurred during its generation but I'll save that for another post). While I can set and view the $HOME variable, I cannot cd $HOME. I tried it at the command line and in a .bashrc file in my home directory. I looked around the mailing list and online but didn't find anyone else with this problem (though I may be misunderstanding the issue).
A .bashrc file containing the following lines runs without error and sets the current directory correctly: export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH export HOME=/home/adella export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH cd /home/adella but a .bashrc file containing 'cd' or 'cd $HOME' as the last line does not set the current directory and gives the 'No such file or directory' error at startup: export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH export HOME=/home/adella export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH cd $HOME Then I tried to use $HOME directly at the command line and received the same error (my inputs prefixed with a $): $ cd $HOME : No such file or directory $ echo $HOME /home/adella $ cd /home/adella $ pwd /home/adella Any idea of what I did wrong during set up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marianne casem at:uci dot:edu
