You need to install the bash startup files per the BLFS chapter: "The Bash Shell Startup Files". The pathappend / pathprepend / pathremove functions are defined in /etc/profile.
Hey Bryan
The system is completed. Rustc worked fine earlier for librsvg when I built Abiword. When I tried to install cbindgen needed for Firefox it
says cargo not found. I reinstalled rustc and the last command fails after install
rustc-1.35.0-src ]# source /etc/profile.d/rustc.sh
bash: pathprepend: command not found
thats my problem . I have Seamonkey and Video aand sound.
Just wanted Firefox too
Hey Spiky,
Would you mind showing me the way to do what you posted. Sorry, but I'm lost. All I try to do is copy and paste the code
they use.
Thanks a lot
Check your /etc/profile whether it have pathprepend function in it.
If dont have pathprepend function, it mean you did not follow 'The Bash Shell Startup Files' in the blfs book.
Ok, went back and c&p chapter 3 again. When I open terminal its still the same (bash-5.0$) and still missing my name unless I change xfce4 terminal settings to "Run command as login shell" Now I'm totally confused about this bash stuff and have no idea what I have done wrong.
