I have this automatic $PATH maker in .zshenv:
unset PATH
for i in \
/etc \
/usr \
/bin \
/sbin \
/usr/etc \
/usr/ucb \
/usr/bin \
/usr/gnu/bin \
/usr/local/etc \
/usr/local/bin \
/usr/local/sbin \
/usr/local/gnu/bin \
/usr/local/shell-scripts \
$HOME/Library/bin \
$HOME/bin \
$HOME/Unix/bin
do
if [ -d "$i" ]; then
PATH=$i:$PATH
fi
done
Which works niftily, except that at the end of the $PATH is "." !!
See:
# echo $PATH
/usr/local/Users/fpc/Unix/bin:/usr/local/shell-scripts:/usr/local/gnu/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/etc:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/etc:/bin:/usr:/etc:.
Now I don't know where that "." came from, but it really really should not
be there! In fact, I'd almost recommend a "REFUSE_DOT_IN_PATH" option
when compiling zsh!!! (force ./ if you want to execute a command in $PWD
if $PWD is not in $PATH
Any clues what is going wrong? This is w/ an older version of zsh... I
don't even know where to get the recent versions now with the patches and
whatnot...
