I just solve my problem by adding the path of my newly-installed bash to the beginning of PATH. However I now have some new questions:
1. The change to PATH is effective only in the current shell session. I was wondering if it is possible to run the new bash instead of the old one everytime it is lauched in terminal, putty and in emacs. Is there a place where the change to PATH could be added and executed before bash starts, like ".bashrc" for when bash is lauched? 2. Also in emacs, if I type "M-x bashdb", bashdb is not "matched". How shall I set it up? Thanks and regards! lehe wrote: > > Hi, > I have no root access to a server, so I can only install bashdb under my > $HOME.
