I found the source of the problem: In that session I had created $HOME/bin.
That being the only source of the append command in my .bash_profile had then
cause the further problems. I now only wonder what's wrong with my append
command. I seem to have avoided it... This is what is in my .bash_profile:
# Begin ~/.bash_profile
# Written for Beyond Linux From Scratch
# by James Robertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# updated by Bruce Dubbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# Personal environment variables and startup programs.
# Personal aliases and functions should go in ~/.bashrc. System wide
# environment variables and startup programs are in /etc/profile.
# System wide aliases and functions are in /etc/bashrc.
append () {
# First remove the directory
local IFS=':'
local NEWPATH
for DIR in $PATH; do
if [ "$DIR" != "$1" ]; then
NEWPATH = ${NEWPATH:+$NEWPATH:}$DIR
fi
done
# Then append the directory
export PATH=$NEWPATH:$1
}
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ] ; then
source $HOME/.bashrc
fi
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
append $HOME/bin
fi
export PATH=$HOME/scripts:$PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/avr/bin
#export LANG=de_DE #done in /etc/profile.d/setterm.sh !!!
export LC_MESSAGES=en_GB
export MAIL=$HOME/Mail
#export MANPAGER="/bin/less -isRj10"
unset append
# End ~/.bash_profile
