Problem
I am using iTerm in Mac OS X 10.6. It seems when I open iTerm, neither nor is sourced. I can tell because the aliases defined in are not set. How to fix?

Fix for: .bashrc not sourced in iTerm + Mac OS X
Low Risk
In iTerm2, none of these solutions worked for me. I was able to get it to properly read my .bashrc file by adding the command to the Send text at start: field in Settings/General for my iTerm profile.
