You should also have a ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile (either one). If you don't, you can probably find a copy with: ls -a /etc/skel If not, here's a short one that'll probably get you going: # include .bashrc if it exists if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc fi Name it ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile, and log out. It'll be read by bash when you log in again. >From the bash man page: When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.
