Hello everyone,

I still consider myself new to Linux so this is probably just a minor
problem but currently I can't find a way around it - I hope that
somebody can help me.

Using the xds_inst script to install XDS I get the following error
messages:

$PATH/html_doc/xds_inst: line 20: setenv: command not found
$PATH/html_doc/xds_inst: line 23: syntax error near unexpected token `('
$PATH/html_doc/xds_inst: line 23: `  set path=($XDS $path)'

, since all the errors refer to lines of the input script 'you are not
about to change' I do not know where to start.
Thanks in advance for any advice

Kind regards

Eike

Eike,

the problem is probably that you use a different shell (bash ?) than xds_inst is meant to be used with (tcsh or csh).

Someone who regularly uses bash (maybe your system admininistrator?) should not have any difficulties in translating xds_inst into "bash language".

Even if you use tcsh or csh, you should "source" xds_inst (i.e. not execute it). The only purpose of xds_inst is to put the binaries into your $PATH. If they are already in your $PATH (like when they reside in /usr/local/bin), then you don't really need xds_inst.

HTH,

Kay
