You never heard for typing .<dot> before $HOME/.bashrc ? Or command
'source' ? Or at least 'login' again right from the shell ?
Read "man source" for your own good. And, please don't instruct people
to do something unnecessary and waste time.

Mixmaster has no any kind of GUI, it is called a 'screen oriented program'
with ncurses interface. "G" in GUI stands for graphics which has nothing to
do with ncurses. Even 'newt' interface has nothing to do with gui although
it's mach closer to it than ncurses.

Go ask questions in comp.os.linux.help, and leave such faqs to somene who
knows what he's writing about. Get a job.
