I upgraded my system this morning and I now have: bash @4.2.29_0+universal (active) bash-completion @2.0_1 (active) I ran the following: gbs:~ $ echo $BASH_VERSION 3.2.48(1)-release gbs:~ $ /bin/bash --version GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin10.0) gbs:~ $ which bash /opt/local/bin/bash gbs:~ $ bash --version GNU bash, version 4.2.29(2)-release (i386-apple-darwin10.8.0) The results disagree with what Clemens said. Typing 'port SPACE TAB' gives me a listing of the current directory whereas it should give a list of all possible port commands if bash-completion is working. How can I get $BASH_VERSION to give '4.2.29(2)-release'?
