Re: Install Bashdb and Bash not as root

[lehe]

Thanks Bob!
I get my bashdb in my emacs work already.

As to changing to new bash from the beginning, I added into .bash_profile:
"SHELL='/cis/home/tingli/bin/bash-3.2.48/bin/bin/bash'                          
                                                                             
exec $SHELL "
It works quite well. The new bash starts automatically if I ssh to the
server from my laptop.

However, if I login using my office computer, which loads my HOME on server
directly as its hard disk, 
I will get such error:
"Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out
yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that
you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe
sessions to see if you can fix this problem."
If I comment the lines added to .bash_profile, I would be able to login
successfully.

Looks like I can get only one work, either my office computer or my laptop.
