Been getting -bash: [export: command not found

I have no idea how to fix this. Any help is appreciated. Here is the complete error I get when I open up terminal:
Last login: Thu Mar 14 15:28:54 on ttys000
-bash: [export: command not found
Ways-MacBook-Pro:~ Way$

In your bash initialization file you have a command
[export
however there is no command '[export' (open square bracked export)
Look for a file by the name
.bash_profile
.bash_login
.profile
.bashrc
and see which one of those files has a command that starts with [ followed by the letters e x p o r t
Chance are it is suppose to be just 'export' without the open square bracket.

Type "purge" in Terminal and get: -bash: purge: command not found Is there another built-in command to clear memory leaks? want to clear memory periodically

I have 10.6.8. When I type "purge" in Terminal I get: -bash: purge: command not found Is there another built-in command to clear memory leaks? I have FreeMemory (works well) and considering FreeMemory Pro, to clear memory periodically, say every 20 minutes, or preferably when a threshold is reached, say when only 100MB is available.

To get purge to work you need to install Xcode from Optional Installs on the 10.6 install DVD. Also be sure you install CHUD Tools with it.
But running purge or anything like it is pointless if within a short period of time the VM just grows back again. Sounds like you need more RAM.
Where are the memory leaks? Just because the VM reaches a certain size doesn't necessarily mean it's from a memory leak.

-bash: cat: command not found (or grep)

Hi, Strange things:
i3: okn$ ls -R | grep -h "dof" | cat > dtext.txt
-bash: cat: command not found
or then I get this:
i3: okn$ find . -type f -print | grep -c
-bash: grep: command not found
but this is not happening all the time, i remember grep or cat did work once or twice...
What's going on here?
OS 10.7.4; repaired permissions
Any assistance much appreciated!

'cat' is stored in /bin/cat, NOT /usr/bin/cat, which explains the file not found messages above.
HOWEVER, the information you have provided seems to imply you have the executables, and previous information provides says you have a valid PATH:
echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbi n:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
this creates a mystery as to why you are getting:
-bash: cat: command not found
-bash: grep: command not found
I have a couple of thoughts.
a) I'm wondering if you have any 'alias' statements in your .bash_profile (or .bash_login, or .profile, or .bashrc).
b) if you would get the same results should you rename your .bash_profile (and/or .bash_login, .profile, .bashrc) to something like saved.bash_profile, then restart your terminal session (basically eliminating any personalized shell customization).
c) what would happen if you created a new account (System Preferences -> Accounts) - basically a clean starting point.
d) are you executing these commands from the command prompt? Or from within a shell script?
d.1) if from within a shell script, is the script file the correct file format.
file name.shell.script
you want to check that the output from the 'file' command DOES NOT say "...with CRLF line terminators...", as that would imply the the file came from (or through) a Windows system.

ORACLE_HOME disappeared, SQLPLUS - bash: sqlplus: command not found

OK, I am a newbie but am having real difficulty with my 10G DB which I had set up on Unix Solaris box but someone was messing around with it and now I can't see ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_SID, they all return blank when I try to "echo" each.
I realise I should have originally set it in Bash_profile, but is now too late.
So how do I set them back up, I cannot get SQLPLUS / AS SYSDBA.........bash: sqlplus: command not found
I have tried to reset and export but still doesn't work.
I got the ORACLE_BASE as:
training:/export/home/training/product/10.2.0/Db_1:N
but can't seem to set the three variables to run SQLPLUS, any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Tried messing around to reset but nothing works, this is the present state of affairs:
env
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/3
USER=training
ORACLE_SID=training
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/app
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
PWD=/export/home/training/product/10.2.0/Db_1/bin
TZ=Eire
PS1=\e[33m\h\e[31m-\u-\e[33m\W/\e[31m-$\e[32m
SHLVL=3
HOME=/export/home/training
LOGNAME=training
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/app/product/10.2.0
Can someone help me, really need a step by step guide to set these back up properly.
Thanks

Export: command not found

I have been trying to install something via MacPorts and was following a blog that described setting the PATH appropriately so that the port command would work, however when I updated .bash_profile as described in the blog and tried to source it, it gives me the error, "export: command not found."
currently echo $PATH returns: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/ sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Please post the actual code.
Also are you sure you are using the 'bash' shell (or sh, ksh, zsh shells)? With all these shells 'export' is a built-in command and should never be "not found".
Could you be using the csh or tcsh shell? If you are using one of these shells, then setting environment variables is done using the 'setenv' command, which is also a csh/tcsh built-in.
Use the following command to see what your default shell is:
dscl . -read $HOME shell
If you have csh or tcsh as your shell, then use something like the following to set your PATH environment variable:
setenv PATH "$PATH:/the/stuff/you/are/adding"

(OEL 4.7) -bash: sqlplus: command not found after install of 10g R2

Hi all
I'm new to Linux and I would like your help and directions on a few things:

please check if all these settings are correct and help me how to start sqlplus? or create a database with dbca
I followed all the directions in Doc ID: 339510.1.
During installation i choose this path as the ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/
I did not however installed the default database.
I then ran the two scripts at the end of the installation as root.
Here are my settings:
oracle bash_profile:
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
unset USERNAME
:q
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=/product/10.2.0/db_1;
export ORACLE_HOME
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
here is my oracle env result

ORACLE_HOME=/product/10.2.0/db_1
here is my echo $ORACLE_HOME result:

Can someone please tell me what did i miss or did not set?
When i try to run sqlplus i get this error
[oracle@nycoralp01 /]$ sqlplus
-bash: sqlplus: command not found
Any help appreciated

I change it in my bash_profile
$ vi ~oracle/.bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

-bash: f4fpackager: command not found

Hi,
I am trying to use the f4fpackager on one of the centos amis (5.03) through amazon aws.
when I try to run the command I get the following:
-bash: f4fpackager: command not found
I have tried
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/adobe/ams/tools/f4fpackager
but haven't had any success - has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Craig

Can you try navigating to the f4fpackager installation directory with the following command?
cd /opt/adobe/ams/tools
And then try to launch f4fpackager as follows:
./f4fpackager
If need be, you can load libraries as follows:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.

Bash: SQLPLUS: Command not found

Hi All,
I'm facing problem during connecting to SQLPLUS in Linux Plateform Redhat 4.....whenever I write SQLPLUS, it gives me the following Error message
Bash: Sqlplus: Command not found.
kindly let me know, how can I get rid of this Error. Thanks
Regards,
Imran

Your environmentals are not setup.
From the command prompt source oraenv
~> . oraenv
or (depending on your os )
~> source oraenv
Respond to the prompt with the name of your database exactly (uppercase/lowercase) as it is in the oratab file (/etc/oratab ?)
This will set your ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, and PATH variables correctly for your database.
Try sqlplus again and see if that does not work for you.

-bash: make: command not found

Help me please. I downloaded cdrecord because I need a tool called makeisofs but I am told that I need to compile it first before I can use it. The directions say to type "make" to compile it but when I type make in the terminal window, I get the following message:
-bash: make: command not found
I've spent hours looking all over the web for an explanation but I just can not find anything to help me. I even joined some IRC channels but no one types anything in those rooms. It is the weirdest thing.
Can anyone tell me why I can't compile? The directions I got with the download don't explain a thing.

I found something that might help. On the second Leopard DVD, there is something called Xcode Tools which I am told has what I need. I'll respond if I have any other questions. Thanks for reading.
