setenv and env are for C shell I guess,
and another guess, you are using the default shell bash
use

export WHAT_YOU_WANT_TO_SET=WHAT_VALUE_YOU_WANT_TO_GIVE   --> to set  ( or use "set" 
instead of
"export" , dont remember if it was working too)

set | grep WHAT_YOU_WANT_TO_SET  --> will show you if you set it
correct or not.

ps: bash is not so happy with spaces , so be keen on using XXX=YYY
instead of XXX = YYY

ps: if you do a "set |grep xxxxx" and see "_=xxxxx"  then you " could
not succeed" , this is because you used export instead of set, or vice
versa. ( dont worry, it wont hassle things :)
