That's barely readable. Keep trying to upload the screenshots, it's not hard. click the 'manage attachments' button, click the various 'browse' buttons to find all your image files, then click the 'upload' button to the right of them to add them all. When it's finished, click 'close this window' in the upper right and finish your post in the main window.

Code:
/home/kit/antplot[kit@class antplot]$ !bash
bash -xv ./ccantplot
cd # .bashrc
+ cd

What's this 'cd' doing and where is it coming from?
Do you have 'bash' somehow alias-ed to something doing 'cd' first?

Sorry I forgot to change from group cc to itt, although it didn't make any difference to avoid confusion. I reran the commands while all were in the same group.

Code:

Why are you still just typing "ccantplot"? "./ccantplot" has been suggested many times.

Do you have 'bash' somehow alias-ed to something doing 'cd' first?
That is part of the output of
Code:
 bash -xv ./ccantplot

. 'bash' isn't aliased to anything. 'bash' is just an executable in /bin.

Because'. ' the dot is in the PATH variable. It is not needed and makes no difference if I type ccantplot or ./ccantplot "./" is assumed.

Okay, your PATH is pretty screwed up:
Code:
export PATH=/usr/local/pvi/release:/usr/local/pvi/release/bin:/usr/local/pvi/release:/usr/local/pvi/release/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/absoft/bin:/usr/local/pvi/release:/usr/local/pvi/release/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:.:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:.:/home/kit/bin:.:.

By my count you've got "." in there four times, /usr/local/bin twice, /usr/local/pvi/release and /usr/local/pvi/release/bin thrice,
/usr/absoft/bin no less than nine times, and this really odd-looking one: /home/kit/bin
I hope you know what that is and it's not a rootkit.

Some shells may be more willing to put up with repeats in PATH than others.

I understand that 'cd' is part of the 'bash -xv' invocation. That's why I'm wondering where it/cd is coming from...
If somehow you're cd-ing before the the './ccantplot' is invoked by 'bash', you're no longer in the current (./) directory - but rather in in your $HOME directory...
See the point?
