Check what shell you are using:
Code:
```
echo $SHELL
```
Read the FILES section of the manual page for your shell, e.g.
Code:
```
man bash
```
Check for the existence/permissions of the files listed in the man page.
If you're still unsure, put echo lines in the various files, e.g.
Code:
```
echo "this is the ~/.bash_profile"
```
