bash: /home/bumpy/.bash_aliases: No such file or directory

File: .bashrc excerpt:
~/.bash_aliases
DIGIKAMROOT="/root/home/bumpy"
alias digikam-dev="KDESYCOCA='$DIGIKAMROOT/var/tmp/kde-neb/ksycoca4' KDE_FORK_SLAVES=1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH='$DIGIKAMROOT/lib64/' KDEDIRS='$DIGIKAMROOT' $DIGIKAMROOT/bin/digikam"

# Alias definitions.
# You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
# ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
# See /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/examples in the bash-doc package.
There is no such file "/usr/share/doc/bash-doc" in my kubuntu 12.10 system.

Can I put the aliases in /home/bin (which is empty), & if so how do I do this without messing up my system?

Your .bashrc is trying to run .bash_aliases and doesn't find it. However, it won't work like that because it's being run in a subprocess, which will not affect your login shell. The invocation needs to be

source .bash_aliases

or

. .bash_aliases

If you only want a few I'd suggest deleting the offending line and defining them in .bashrc as I do. (I have a bunch of bash functions, a more capable mechanism, and have a separate .bash_functions for them.) If you want a lot, and have their definitions in /bin, I suggest creating ˝/bin/bash_aliases and sourcing them from .bashrc:

source ~/bin/bash_aliases
