Chris asked:
Just provisioned a new Rackspace instance with Ubuntu 12.04 and pulled down rbenv from their github and installed it.
I’m getting the following errors when executing . ./~bashrc
$ . ~/.bashrc
sh: 18: /home/deployer/.bashrc: shopt: not found
sh: 26: /home/deployer/.bashrc: shopt: not found
sh: 110: /home/deployer/.bashrc: shopt: not found
sh: 28: /etc/bash_completion: [[: not found
sh: 34: /etc/bash_completion: [[: not found
sh: 51: /etc/bash_completion: Bad substitution
Here is my .bashrc (for user deployer), the only thing I added was the rbenv bit at the top.

Tests asked for in comments:

$ /bin/sh -c 'echo $SHELL'
/bin/sh
$ cat /proc/$$/cmdline

My answer:
The output you just posted indicates that you aren’t actually running bash
. This is why you are getting errors sourcing .bashrc
.
To fix this problem, you need to check your login shell to make sure it’s actually set to bash:
chsh -l
will list the available shells, and
chsh -s /path/to/bash
will change your login shell to bash.
Then logout and log back in.
