Which gives an error message.

[Tim Uckun]

I am having an odd problem when I type which "something" it says
shell-init: could not get directory: getcwd: cannot access parent 
directories: nosuch file or directory

Can anybody clue me in as to why it does this? Do I need to install it all 
over again?
