Ok. Let's try to follow Ettore's advice first.<br>
<br>
In Terminal run<br>
<br>
cd<br>
ls -a<br>
<br>
and see which of .profile, .bash_profile and .bashrc (notice the leading period) are present. Then, for each of the ones that are present run<br>
<br>
mv originalfile oldoriginalfile<br>
<br>
e.g., if .profile is present run<br>
<br>
mv .profile old.profile<br>
<br>
which will deactivate them as well as make them visible in your HOME foler in Finder.<br>
<br>
Then log out and back in and then open Terminal again and run<br>
<br>
echo $PATH<br>
which tar<br>
<br>
and let us know what information is returned.<br>
