Hi Ernesto,

Try to create a file ~/.bash_profile with the following code:



#!/bin/bash

export default_dir=${default_dir:=$HOME}

if [ -f $default_dir/.bashrc ]; then
	. $default_dir/.bashrc
elif [ -f $default_dir/Bashrc ]; then
	. ${default_dir}/Bashrc;
elif [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
	. ~/.bashrc;
fi

Jean-Philippe
