ls: No such file or directory

I have been messing around trying to install macvim to a higher version of 7.4. I finally got it working but now I get the error

ls: No such file or directory

when looking for a directory. I can temporarily fix it by using the command

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

however, as soon as I exit my terminal window the problem returns. How do I fix this permanently.

Solution

  • You should add the following to your ~/.bash_profile file so the PATH is loaded every time you log in:

    export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
