I believe the following demonstrates that PATH is not the problem.

Code:

Could you also post the output of:

Code:
ls -lb /home/kit/antplot/

Yeah. --noprofile only affects a login shell. I just edited my earlier post to highlight the mistake.

As I said before the full gcc path doesn't change anything. Please take my word for it next time. I have a complicated route to paste from my X emulator (typescript, sftp, edit out garbage characters, copy and paste) and you guys are wearing me out. Don't get me wrong I really really appreciate all your help and the time we've already spent. But at this point maybe you'll remember I said this was not a simple problem or why would we still be at it 4 hours later?

'cause sourcing doesn't invoke another shell (therefore dealing with the .*rc files) - it does it 'in-process'.
This proves that you have something in one of your '.*rc' files that does 'cd' or somesuch that breaks the whole script.
Try a version of your script that I posted earlier.
