- Summary: Just a minor glitch in /.bash_profile
-
- I compiled the mailpak's ELM last night, and couldn't get it to work...
- until I found the bug in the /.bash_profile...
-
- MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/$USER <--The problem is that $USER is undefined.
-
- Adding the line:
-
- USER=`whoami`
-
- *BEFORE* the "MAIL" variable is set solves the problem nicely.
