Re: spaces in .bash_profile lead to "command not found"

There are 4 blank lines in my .bash_profile:

   echo 'END ~/.bash_profile'
   ====== end file

Each blank line generates an error:

   $ source .bash_profile
   BEGIN ~/.bash_profile
   : command not found
   : command not found
   : command not found
   : command not found
   END ~/.bash_profile

However, if I comment all the blank lines out, I get no errors. Each blank
line in this file seems to be causing a "command not found" error. What
could be causing this?

CR/LF where there should be CR. Try running d2u. And read the list for more gotchas due to the bash upgrade.


Essentially correct but I believe you meant to say that CR/LF should be a LF.
