Landy,

You are probably logged in as root, and trying to get this through an X 
console of some sort.  I had this happen.  I don't remember the details, but 
I don't believe etc provile gets sourced under thoes conditions.  WRT .bashrc 
I believe that only gets surced when you enter a non-login shell.  Try 
.bash-profile.  

HTH,

Steve
