I offer the following snippet of code that you can stick in your .profile -- among other things (*), I use this code to get around the problem that you reported:
# clean up paths if perl -e 'require 5' >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then PATH=`perl -e 'print join ":", grep {-d && !$d{$_}++} split /:/, $ENV{'PATH'}'` MANPATH=`perl -e 'print join ":", grep {-d && !$d{$_}++} split /:/, $ENV{'MANPATH'}'` fi Place this near the end of your .profile . * This also preserves the order of things in your path, removes non-existent directories, and removes duplicates.
