@lj-pinho, Unfortunately that solution will not work if you have Bash-
specific shell syntax in your .bash_profile (and why wouldn't you?).

I'm currently having this same issue because of using `[[ ]]` instead of
`[ ]` and source instead of `.`. I _knew_ there was a good reason I'd
previously changed all my `[[ ]]` to `[ ]` in my `.profile` file.
However, there's also a good reason to not have a `.bash_profile` and
only have a `.profile` but I'm forgetting what that is at the moment.
Can anyone enlighten me? I do use these dotfiles across Linux, Mac,
FreeBSD and (not recently) Solaris, UX, AIX, Cygwin, MinGW. Mainly my
dotfiles need to be portable across Linux and Mac.

Cheers!
