Hm. Same for me...

Note that there's no mention of .bcrc in bc's man page...
Neither in bc's info page.

Running under strace I only see it trying to access ~/.inputrc and
~/.terminfo.

It seems you'll have to provide the init file explicitly on the command
line -- or to set the BC_ENV_ARGS. This works for me:

  echo "scale=0" > .my-bc-init-file # choose a better name :-)
  BC_ENV_ARGS=.my-bc-init-file bc

  bc 1.06.95

  For details type `warranty'. 
  scale
  20

Season to taste :-)
