Bug while using terminal zsh

[LetMeFly666]

When I use bash, this script will run correctly.

But when I use zsh, the PATH will be misly separated.

Then the terminal will show prompt_status:5：command not found：wc always.

I think I could make a Pull Request to let the script support both bash and zsh terminal.

Need I to do that? Looking forward to your response.

Hello,I also encountered this problem in zsh, and since I'm not good at this part of programming, I was confused about how to modify the script. Would you like to tell me how to modify it, or send me a modified script? Thank you very much!

Hi, here is my modified script, which can only support zsh now as I remembered:

# update environment variables
export CUDA_HOME="${cuda_path}"
export CUDA_ROOT="${cuda_path}"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${new_ld_path}"
export PATH="${new_path}"

echo "Switched to CUDA ${TARGET_VERSION}."

set +e
return

It can also be modified to support both bash and zsh if needed, fell free to @ me.

Thank you very much for your sharing; it worked effectively after I ran it.

Today, I also used the LLM ChatGPT-4o and made modifications suitable for zsh. I tested it, and it worked as well.

As for the specific differences between your script and mine, I haven't compared them in detail. I’m sharing this with you, hoping it might provide inspiration or any other form of help.
