Mac Terminal : /dev/fd/12:18: command not found: compdef I have noticed when I do open it I am always greeted with an error message (see attached). I have no idea how or when exactly it started showing up but I noticed it fairly recently. It also is there on new Terminal tabs and I can get rid of it by using the "clear" command. Is there a way to get rid of the message.

I'm concerned why SIP is disabled (shown in the crash log screenshot).

Run the third party app EtreCheck and post the complete report here so we can examine it for possible clues.

Without more details from you, there is no help.

This tells us the version of macOS, an Intel platform, and that System Integrity Protection is disabled. Nothing else, about what you were doing when this occurred, the shell in use, or if you were using homebrew or another package manager?

If you expect help here, posting just a screen shot and no other background information is not the way to resolve this.
