  • There's a malformed export command in one of your shell startup files; either ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, or ~/.profile. Check which of those files exist, and look through them for export commands. They should look like either export somevariable or export somevariable=somevalue. Spaces around the equal sign or a "$" on the variable on the left of the equal are common problems ("$" is fine in the string on the right of the equal). If you're not sure what the problem is, add the suspect command(s) to your question in code format (so it's readable).
