Hi Patric,
have you set the HOME environment variable ?
This is used to determin the location of .bashrc.

) Hi Frodak and All,
)
) I created the ~/.bash_profile file (it wasn't even there before!), and
) tried sourcing ~/.bashrc from it. It still doesn't work. I don't think
) these files are ever executed during my cygwin session. I don't know
) whether I use bash or not. I simply installed it from my PC. Is there
) another type of configuration besides bash, where there is a different
) file to modify to contain my aliases? Please help if you can,
)
)
) Thanks,
)

) ~/.bashrc is only sourced by bash on non-login interactive shells
) ~/.bash_profile is only source by bash on login interactive shells
)
) If you have your aliases in ~/.bashrc you need to add the following line
) to
) ~/.bash_profile
) Source ~/.bashrc
)
) Further examples can be taken from the files located in /etc/skel.
)
) Also look at the man bash page under INVOCATION.
