Every time I start up Terminal I get the following error:
-bash: /usr/ebiotools/staden/staden.profile: No such file or directory
This is from the staden package that I had previously installed and since removed, but I'm not sure why it is still being called when I start Terminal. If I then launch a tcsh shell from within Terminal and then another bash shell, it doesn't happen. It only happens when I open a new Terminal window or when I launch Terminal.
I've deleted my .bashrc and .bash_profile files and replaced them with empty files.
Any help?
thanks,
kman

Is it maybe in your .login file?

I don't seem to have a .login file in my home folder. Does it reside somewhere else?

Look for dot files ending in rc (runcom) in your home directory. Have you checked for an invisible directory in your home directory that could be related to the staden package? The install for an application should never put anything in /usr. Yuck!
After your weekly maintenace script, you can use 'locate staden' to see if there are oher remants or download the source again and read the configure file to see what is installed where.

You could check the system-wide rc files in /etc. For example, /etc/bashrc is in there, as well as a bunch of csh files and others.

The only .login I know lives in your home folder. Since it starts with a . it will be hidden. Try 'head .login' and then you'll know for sure.

Thanks, it was in /etc/csh.login

I spoke to soon. There were some lines in this file referring to that directory, but even after deleting them I still get the error.

Yes, why would bash read a tcsh init file. You might want to keep track about all the changes you apply to these files, especially the ones in /etc and keep backups of the original ones.
A list of files read upon startup by shells: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/fa...section-6.html.

Cool, thanks! It was in the /etc/profile file.
