Hey all, lookin for some help. I'm on a 10.6.3 MBP.

Every time I open up terminal, this shows up
Code: 
Last login: Mon Jun  7 23:46:54 on ttys001
-bash: sdkfolder: No such file or directory
xxxx-xxxxxs-MacBook-Pro:~ xxxxxx$

why is that -bash line in there?

Also, I cannot run 'sudo' at all. I'm on an Admin account, and I have enabled root permissions.

Code: 
xxxxx-xxxxxs-MacBook-Pro:~ xxxxx$ sudo su
-bash: sudo: command not found

Thanks in advance.

You probably have an error in one of your startup scripts.

Code: 
cd
grep -i sdkfolder .* 
grep -i sdkfolder *

Once you figure out where that bash error is coming from - remove the line. My guess is it is in your .bash_profile - if not - you are probably sourcing something

Code: 
cd
grep -i source .* 
grep -i source *

This is probably interfering with the PATH command which means you cannot find sudo - which is actually /usr/bin/sudo

If your PATH is messed up grep is actually /opt/local/bin/grep
(I hope - this may have been installed by fink or macports)

it's not recognizing 'grep' =[ same error as 'sudo'

-bash: grep: command not found

That is why I gave you full paths to everything - really you should be able to type in
Code: 
/opt/local/bin/grep -i sdkfolder .*

Actually you could try this
Code: 
cd
/bin/mv .bash_profile .bash_profile.bak
Then see if the error goes away.
