bash: /root/.bashrc: line 37: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' bash: /root/.bashrc: line 63: syntax error: unexpected end of file The pertinent lines are- line 37 alias tarx='tar -xvzf $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6' And line 62 is the final line, no line 63 export QTDIR KDEDIR HISTFILESIZE I had this problem about three years ago, when I started using Linux, and it was a problem with bash. A new package fixed the problem. However, I only have this problem when I su to root. thanks -- Andrew
