bashrc if: Expression Syntax error
if: Expression Syntax is not an error bash would give you. Perhaps your shell is not bash. In fact, as long as if stands alone, any error would not be with if itself:
$ if [somethingswrong]; then fail; fi # error, then `[` command must have space around it.-bash: [somethingswrong]: command not foundYou can check your shell by echoing $SHELL, and you can check which version of bash with $BASH_VERSION. (If the latter is unset, your shell is not bash.)
