bash: setenv : command not found

setenv is a C-shell builtin. 
I guess, that you have probably set a C-shell variant as your login in 
shell, but didn't wrote 'su -'.
My suggestion: Change your login shell to bash (chsh -s /bin/bash)
and try again.

That's because setenv is built into csh/tcsh.  Apparently, you are trying
to run a shell script that is written for csh or tcsh.

Hi Neil,

 Can someone kindly point me in the right direction
 to solve a niggling problem, 
 When I do a `su' command bash comes up with
 an error message,
  
 bash: setenv : command not found
 
 I have a man page for setenv which refers 
 to stdlib.h, this I have in,
 
 `/usr/include/bsd/stdlib.h' and `/usr/include/stdlib.h'
 
 but I cannot find setenv etc on my system, and
 when I am in in a child shell my path is unknown.
 The kernel is custom 2.0.6 and mostly modular.

There is no setenv binary. It is built into (t)csh and for
bash you have to use the builtin 'export'. The manpage is
about a library function of that name (which you cannot use
from your shell).

If your su command fails this is an error (in su?). So you
should check, what su is (use the 'type' command from bash,
'which' from (t)csh).

Hope I could help. Bye,
Bjoern.

Thanks to all who responded, problem solved.
Some time ago I had a trouble with
with color-ls. I had put bash.rc's and bash_profile's
in /etc  /root csh.cshrc and so on 
A clear out and fresh start has worked wonders,

Thanks again ,
Neil
