Hi everyone,

I'm receiving an infinite

> (eval):1: parse error near `()'

using env -i on zsh 5.0.4.

I've attached a screenshot where you can see a replication of the error I'm
seeing.

Thanks,

Darren @ Thanx

This has to be something in a startup file; my guess is that there's
something wrong in a precmd function or prompt expansion.

Try

    env -i /usr/local/bin/zsh -v

to see what might be causing the parse error.

Thanks for the help, Bart!

Looks like I was getting this error in my zshenv where I was sourcing rvm

> [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

I commented that line out temporarily and it stopped the parse error.

I did a fresh install of rvm without any ruby versions installed and that
command worked fine.
I installed ruby-2.0.0-p353 and the error came back.

Is this an issue I should take up with rvm?

Possibly; it depends what the error is actually coming from.  Is that
rvm script supposed to be zsh-specific?  If not, it may be an
incompatibility with sh syntax.  You could try

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] &&
  emulate sh -c 'source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"'

--- but unless you know that's the problem that's not going to do any
good, and if that *is* the problem and this doesn't fix it we'll need to
know more about the context of the error.
