The file header reads:
----
This installation of bash has been set up to use an init system similar
to the tcsh installed by OS X.
In order to use this configuration:
echo "source ~/.bashrc" > ~/.bash_profile
echo "source /sw/share/init/bash/rc" > ~/.bashrc
echo "source /sw/bin/init.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
----
here I am not sure whether one has to copy the exact line into the command
line, i.e. actually pipe the echo commands into ~/.bash_profile (does not
exist yet), and ~/.bashrc, or to input the echo commands into those files
(i.e. without overwriting the rest)?
Actually, .bashrc is already being sourced on my system, which begins with
a line
test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh
but not the actual source command. After manually sourcing these in a
shell the "bash-3.2" has been replaced by something like [xdsl-somenumber]
(and probably to something else when I'm offline), but the behaviour
doesn't change.
I can also manually type "bash" (which refers to /sw/bin/bash), giving me
a "bash.4.0". However, the missing command(s) are not yet available.
What else is necessary to get the missing commands like seq? Or are there,
besides the naked version numbers, also different "flavours" of bash, some
providing other sets of commands (of commands with different options) than
others?
Sorry that I am not born with expert knowledge and thus bothering the
list with such questions, but I am honestly confused now...
Best wishes,
Ingo
