problems with bash

Hi. I'm really a newbie trying to make my new Mac (OS 10.3) run some science programs under the X11 environment.
I have been trying to install GDE2.2. In short, after several attempts I came to the URL http://www.mutatedmonkeys.com/factsl...es/000830.html. And I thought that was my lucky day.
In fact, now GDE is running, but bash will not do such thing as list, copy, remove, etc; while still working for cd, pico, and so on.
I had to copy .profile, .xinitrc and .Xresources to my $HOME directory in order to get GDE running. Could that be the problem? Is there any way to erase .profile from my root directory? Any workaround?
Best wishes

cd problems in bash

Hi, I'm having problems with the "cd" command in bash not changing directories. From what I've read, I've gathered that scripts are child processes and can't change the directory of their parent process. How do I get around this problem? Thanks, Eric (2 Replies)

DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1)						     Debhelper							DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1)

NAME
dh_auto_install - automatically runs make install or similar SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_install [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params] DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_install is a debhelper program that tries to automatically install built files. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a Makefile and it contains a install target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is used. Note that the Ant build system does not support installation, so dh_auto_install will not install files built using Ant. Unless --destdir option is specified, the files are installed into debian/package/ if there is only one binary package. In the multiple binary package case, the files are instead installed into debian/tmp/, and should be moved from there to the appropriate package build directory using dh_install(1). DESTDIR is used to tell make where to install the files. If the Makefile was generated by MakeMaker from a Makefile.PL, it will automatically set PREFIX=/usr too, since such Makefiles need that. This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or tries to use the wrong install target, you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_install at all, and just run make install manually. OPTIONS
See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options. --destdir=directory Install files into the specified directory. If this option is not specified, destination directory is determined automatically as described in the "DESCRIPTION" section. -- params Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_install usually passes. SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
