leblebi · 04-14-2008, 01:56 AM

Hello

i am using the tcsh shell and want to define my env variables in a .tcshrc file that i ve generated under my user directory (/home/user)

when i login to my user, i get the following error:

.tcshrc: Command not found.
setenv: Syntax Error.

additionally, when i run the env command, i cannot see any of the paths i defined in my .tcshrc file

i would be happy if you can help me on this issue

my tcshrc file is as follows:

".tcshrc" 46 lines, 1423 characters

The syntax of setenv (and set) doesn't use an equal character between the variable name and value, e.g.

Code:

setenv PATH "/opt/pgi/linux86/6.2/bin:$PATH"

That accounts for the "syntax error" message, but I don't know about the "Command not found". Perhaps one of the source commands references a non-existing file, or one of those files contains an invalid command name.
