I have two versions of the hidden file .bashrc: one is stored in my home directory, one is stored in a subdirectory called ACE_50021. When I open a terminal window, I tried to enter the command "source .bashrc" which yields an error statement:

"bash: /home/username/ACE_410/Exer_env.sh: No such file or directory"

Why is this happening? I don't have the ACE_410 directory referenced, nor do I see it in my directory paths. Please advise ASAP as I am stuck. Thanks.

Is /home/username/ACE_50021 in your path? Per tha man page:

If filename does not contain a slash, file names in PATH are used to find the directory contain-
ing filename. The file searched for in PATH need not be executable. When bash is not in posix mode, the current direc-
tory is searched if no file is found in PATH.

Or you're in the /home/username/ACE_50021 dir, it's NOT in your path, and there's no other .bashrc in your path, and you're not running in posix mode. I assume /home/username is NOT in your path.

This shows you have defined /home/username/ACE_410/Exer_env.sh path in .bashrc file, which does not exist.

Can you paste contents of both .bashrc files ?

Unfortunately, I have a VM can in which I connect to a Linux session via NoMachine, but the connection is failing, so I cannot access any of my .bashrc files. My sys admin is reconfiguring the server to which I was connected, so I'll try again once he is finished. Thanks.

This is what my .bashrc file looks like:

export ATIHOME="/home/acecsi/ACE_CSI_5_0_0_2_1"
source /home/acecsi/ACE_CSI_5_0_0_2_1/ATI_env.sh

echo 'ATIHOME is '
echo $ATIHOME


export HOME=$ATIHOME #To make netscape bookmarks work.

export IMCN_HOME=${ATIHOME}/imcn
export ANT_HOME=${ATIHOME}/imcn/ant

#PLEASE SET THE EXERCISE VARIABLE
export EXERCISE=t50021

#source ${ATIHOME}/EXER_env.sh

if [ -f ${IMCN_HOME}/env/IMCN_env ]; then
source ${IMCN_HOME}/env/IMCN_env
fi

export PS1='[\h:\w] '
#
alias dirs='ls -al | grep \/'
alias h='history'
alias mv='mv -i'
alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mvf='/usr/bin/mv -f'
alias rmf='/bin/rm -f'
alias cpf='/usr/bin/cp'
alias dir='ls -al'
alias copy='cp'
alias type='more'
alias ls='ls -CF'
alias md='mkdir'
alias rd='rmdir'
alias help='man'
alias l='ls -al'
alias rgrep='find . -type f -print | xargs grep'
alias oracle_count='ps -ef | grep oracleATI | wc -l'

When I do the 'source .bashrc' command, I receive the following:

ATIHOME is
/home/acecsi/ACE_CSI_4_1_0

In other words, the wrong directory is referenced. Please advise.

Never mind. I had a software developer point me to the ATI_env.sh script file that is referenced in the .bashrc. This file directs the environment variables to the 4_1_0 path rather than the 5_0_0_2_1 path as expected.

Thanks for your help everyone, and please pass this info to anyone else who happens to experience this type of issue with .bashrc.
