[snip]

.bashrc is not meant to be executed. It's meant to be *sourced*. You do
"source .bashrc" or ". .bashrc" to make the currently-running shell read in
environment variable settings, aliases, functions, and stuff like that. So
when you change .bashrc, you do "source .bashrc" so that whatever you changed
will get picked up.

Dazed_75 already said this, but I'm saying it again.
