That is almost certainly software designed for Solaris so it can
be compiled for both i386 and Sparc Solaris.

You want a native install. I suggest that you write small shell script
like this:
#!/bin/bash
echo
make it exectuable and put it somewhere on your path. With this, the
line:
set path = (. $UP/bin/'arch -k' $path)
which means that "$UP/bin/`arch -k`" gets replaced with "$UP/bin/".
