Hello,
I am attempting to setup the license key for some commercial CAD software. I have been discussing with the apps engineer, but it does not seem to be getting me anywhere. I am using Suse 10.0 on a 64 bit Athlon laptop. Suse uses bash whereas the group I recieve the software from uses tcsh. I am not an expert admin (this is my own computer) and this is personal work. :-)

I have tried aspects of changing /etc/passwd and other things. I set up the .cshrc under my home directory/<usr account> ( I am also the admin on this laptop). I did a source .cshrc and obtained no errors. Is it possible that it does not see my personal .cshrc?

This is what I have set up for the /home/<personal user name>/.cshrc file on my computer

set path = $path ~/ssoft/bin
set path = $path slam_install_dir/bin
set env SS_LICENSE_FILE ./psida.key

If I include the parenthesis typically used for set path, I recieve an error. I also have a /etc/csh.cshrc file and reading through it it recommends setting up a /etc/csh.cshrc.local file. (??)

When I try to invoke the license key, it did not see it. If I use the entire path for invoking the license key it starts the setup but does not see the license key. The license key is in the correct path.

Best regards,
Munichtexan

The set path syntax is exactly as you can see above. using = and () and no spaces !

The setenv syntax is exactly as you can see above. :-)
Not use = and with spaces and no ().

In above, after setting a ENV var, a call a bash to check the ENV var MYVAR was exported to the child, as you can see in the echo $MYVAR.

I hope this help, If no, post a reply in this same thread.
