bash: /root/.bashrc: line 37: unexpected EOF while looking for
matching `''
bash: /root/.bashrc: line 63: syntax error: unexpected end of file

The pertinent lines are-

line 37
alias tarx='tar -xvzf $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6'

And line 62 is the final line, no line 63
export QTDIR KDEDIR HISTFILESIZE



I had this problem about three years ago, when I started using Linux,
and it was a problem with bash.  A new package fixed the problem. 
However, I only have this problem when I su to root.

thanks
