Broken Pipe problem - Again...

[Torben Wölm]

Hi.

I have a problem with pipes in Bash.

If I write for instance:

$ rpm -q -a | fgrep "bash"

I sometimes get a pipe broken error message and "fgrep: command not found"

If I run "rpm -q -a" one or more times without the pipe, and then try again
with the pipe, it works!

(BTW: Running fgrep by itself works fine...)

I've recompiled Bash according to the FAQ regarding SIGPIPE. And that's
fine. Now I don't get the "pipe broken" error message anymore. But I don't
get any output besides "fgrep: command not found".

This is really annoying, so I would appreciate any hints you might have to
what I could do about it.

Regards,
Torben
