Running SunOS 3.5 and bash 0.99 ... I first found this problem with "mail" (I have a directory called "mail"). It appears that for any command called "foo" on my path, if I have a subdirectory called "foo", then I get the message "foo": is a directory. Example: perseus:/usr/stp/rcp 47=> which xsrbm /usr/stp/rcp/bin/xsrbm perseus:/usr/stp/rcp 48=> mkdir xsrbm perseus:/usr/stp/rcp 49=> xsrbm xsrbm: is a directory perseus:/usr/stp/rcp 50=> rmdir xsrbm perseus:/usr/stp/rcp 51=> xsrbm if: Missing file name. perseus:/usr/stp/rcp 52=> ;rob

I just ftped this last week and built it on the sun 3. I only made
simple pathname changes in the makefile before building it. As you can see
the version is 0.99
perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 88=> bash -version
GNU bash, version 0.99
perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 1=> which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 2=> mkdir gcc
perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 3=> gcc
gcc: is a directory
perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 4=> rmdir gcc
perseus:/usr/stp/rcp/tmp 5=> gcc
gcc: No source or object files specified.
