Problem editing .bash_profile on RHEL 3es
 

Hi,

I have some problems editing my .bash_profile.

For example, if I add these lines in my .bash_profile:

ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/db_1
export ORACLE_HOME"

after saving and running ". ./.bash_profile"

I get this error:

-bash: ORACLE_HOME: command not found.

Do I miss something?
Please help.
TIA

Mike

when you declare variables in bash, you can't put spaces around the =.

Hi glimmy,

Thank you very much for your help!
I removed the forward and trailing spaces around the = and now it works fine.

with the best regards,
Mike
