Howdy,

That's not right!

Are there no separators between the path elements? I'd expect

echo $PATH

to give

/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/local/bin

and

echo $path

to give

/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /Library/TeX/texbin /usr/local/bin

so if you have no separators at all and are missing some of those items you must have a file somewhere that's messing things up. Please run

ls -alF ~

and let us know what you get.

Both of those are the default versions wo no problem there.

Also, I'd like to change your shell from tcsh to bash. Could you let me know what you have set in Terminal->Preferences General Tab for `Shells open with:'? If it's set to Command and that reads /bin/tcsh please check `Default login shell'.

Good Luck,
