And by the way workaround replacing ~ with $PATH helps in my case. But
nonetheless I believe that behavior of 'which' should be consistent with
shell's lookup.
It is hard to believe that this problem have not be noted before. If
this is some known issue, can anyone point to explanation why it is n
This bug affects me. which does not find any programs in dirs starting
with '~' however bash starts them with no problem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem

edit: in the above comment, I singularly reference tab-completion as
broken, when in fact /usr/bin/which and /usr/bin/xargs are also failing
for me when using tilde expansion. I still blame the
/etc/bash_completion cruft, but I probably can't hang it all at the feet
of ubuntu.

Had the same issue in Latest Stable Lucid, and comment #7 was the
problem and fix.

So my reasoning would be that an xterm is not a login shell, and
therefore .bash_profile is not being executed. My .bash_profile is
attached, and I modify the path in there. What I'm wondering is why it
worked until a few days/weeks back and suddenly stopped working?
As a workaround, I tried to cr

So in my .bash_profile, PATH is set as follows:
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d $HOME/bin ] ; then
PATH=$HOME/bin:"${PATH}"

In an xterm/uxterm/gnome-terminal session, this results in a PATH set to
$ set | grep ^PATH=
PATH='~/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local
What if you replace the "~" with "$HOME" in your $PATH?
