I can't source any changes to my .zshrc (or my .bash_profile for that matter), because I get this error when I try:
/Users/ME/.zshrc:source:100: too many open files: /Users/ME/.zshrcI've tried ulimit -n 10000, but it doesn't work. I've also tried adding a launchd.conf file (there wasn't one there, I had to create it) to permanently change the hard & soft file limit, but on reboot, my terminal instantly crashes with a Process Completed message. (deleting the launchd.conf file & rebooting fixes this issue).
This could be related: for some reason, my $PATH variable is extremely long, as in thousands of characters. There are many repeating parts, for example, here is part of what I get if I do an echo $PATH :
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin........That continues hundreds of times.
This made me think something in MAMP is rewriting my $PATH variable over and over which is causing all my other problems, but I can't find where its happening, and I don't know how to fix it.
Has anyone run into this before??
