From: Ron@OrCAD.com (Ron Forrester) Subject: HOME and bash 23 Jan 1997 16:00:17 -0800 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Original-To: "'Gnu-Win32'" X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.993.5 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com I just installed b17.1, and so far things are overall really great! However, I am trying to get the ~/ functionality from bash that I am used to. In my .bashrc file, I have the following line: export HOME=/usr/rjf which is indeed where I want ~ to point. After starting up bash, I see that the above is really in my environment. Issuing the command cd ~/source, bash goes away for a while (30+ seconds), then comes back with: bash: c:usrrjf/source: No such file or directory which is quite strange to me. Here is my mount output: Device Directory Type Flags \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native no-mixed,text!=binary \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native no-mixed,text!=binary \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native no-mixed,text!=binary \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native no-mixed,text!=binary c: / native mixed,text!=binary and I have installed b17.1 in: c:\usr\rjf\b17.1\ Can someone help me out? Thanks! rjf - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
