[QUOTE="thomanil, post: 128610"] Hello all, got my lovely iBook two days ago, and I´ve messed around with it quite a bit this weekend. I´m new to the mac os, but I have to say it´s very pleasant to work in. Lovely when the os just gets out of your way! One irritating problem has me stumped, though. I installed Fink and Fink Commander almost right off the bat. At some point I tried installing the Ruby packages from Fink Commander, and I told it to perform the operation in a terminal. Something went wrong though (I hadn´t set up Fink correctly yet). Now, whenever I open a new terminal, it tries to run that task again. ( /sw/bin/fink build ruby ) Quite irritating, especially since it prompts me for my admin password every time this happens. I suppose Fink Commander added something to the terminal or bash init files and didn´t clean it up after the first time it tried running the task. Didn´t find anything in .profile in my home dir, though. [b] So my question is this: what files are read/executed by the Terminal when it starts up? And have any of you had a similar problem?[/b] [/QUOTE]
