Why doesn't "source myShellLibs" or ". myShellLibs" in my shell scripts find the file "myShellLibs" in the current directory?

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Unable to migrate ksh scripts from RHEL5 to RHEL6

  • Why doesn't this:

$ cat 1.sh
#!/bin/sh
. DTCfunctions
sayInfo "Hello" 
# End of file
$ ls -l
total 28
-rwxr-x---. 1 rkotapat csi    59 Oct  6 17:55 1.sh
-rwxr-x---. 1 rkotapat csi 22877 Oct  6 17:53 DTCfunctions
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/rkotapat/bin
$ ./1.sh
./1.sh: line 3: .: DTCfunctions: file not found
./1.sh: line 5: sayInfo: command not found

work?
