It looks like you've got something setting a bad alias in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc (or there's a fink package doing so, in /sw/etc/profile.d)

Check your .bashrc or similar files for an "alias" reference.

Pasting a binary file into a message doesn’t achieve much.

I suggest the error is caused because the alias command does not exist. It has
either been deleted, or it’s not in the path or the alias has been corrupted.

Sorry about the binary! I didn't know that it was *supposed* to be a binary! I was expecting something similar to .profile so I was (overly) concerned that the file had been corrupted....

Anyhow, here are the usual suspects, except that I don't have a .bashrc:

grandenetworks:~ robertwyatt$ cat .bashrc
cat: .bashrc: No such file or directory
grandenetworks:~ robertwyatt$ ls -a
. .ICEauthority .bash_history .kde .pine-debug1 .qt .texmf-var Documents Opera 7 Preferences.new cxboard.txt tempdir .. .Trash .cvspass .local .pinerc .rnd .thumbnails Library Pictures mail .CFUserTextEncoding .addressbook .esd_auth .mcop .povray .screenrc .xinitrc Movies Public screenlog.0 .DS_Store .addressbook.lu .fonts.cache-1 .octave_hist .profile .ssh Desktop Music Sites svn-ssl.txt
grandenetworks:~ robertwyatt$ cat .profile
# the path is initially set to "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
# adding /usr/local/bin for lilypond 2.6
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

# /usr/local/mysql/bin removed from example and macdevcenter.com

# added (but later deleted) /usr/local/ntop-3.2/bin for ntop 3.2
# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ntop-3.2/bin

# for fink
test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh
grandenetworks:~ robertwyatt$

Thanks for your thoughts,
Robert
