Thanks a tonne everyone and I am very sorry for having sent you on a wild
goose chase.
You were a 100% right it was a offending unlimit setting in /etc/csh.cshrc
I am entirely guilty of having put "unlimit stacksize" in /etc/csh.cshrc to
help all users of this machine use a crystallography program well.
I removed that offensive line and now can install wise2 just fine
I should learn how to write better shell scripts so that I wont corrupt
shell behavior system wide in the future
Thanks again
Hari
