The init.csh script fails if the PATH variable contains a directory
with an embedded space. This is true when running on a Macintosh, Mac
OS X 10.5, and you use the VMware utility vmrun which requires the
directory "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion" (containing 2
spaces) to be in your PATH. The problem lies in the alias definitions
of append_path and prepend_path. Below is are these two aliases
modified to work with spaces in the PATH. I have not updated the init
scripts for other shells but I believe they have the same problem.
# add to end of path
alias append_path 'if ( "$\!:1" !~ "\!:2\:*" && "$\!:1" !~ "*\:\!:
2\:*" && "$\!:1" !~ "*\:\!:2" && "$\!:1" !~ "\!:2" ) setenv \!:1 "${\!:
1}\:\!:2"'
# add to front of path
alias prepend_path 'if ( "$\!:1" !~ "\!:2\:*" && "$\!:1" !~ "*\:\!:
2\:*" && "$\!:1" !~ "*\:\!:2" && "$\!:1" !~ "\!:2" ) setenv \!:1 "\!:
2\:${\!:1}"; if ( "$\!:1" !~ "\!:2\:*" ) setenv \!:1 "\!:2"`echo \:$
{\!:1} | /usr/bin/sed -e s%^\!:2\:%% -e s%:\!:2\:%:%g -e s%:\!:2\$%%`'
