What does that even *mean*? If one of the *scripts* that you *execute* during the build uses csh, well, OK. I would write off that particular application as "likely to be broken", but IIRC you do a lot of "academia" stuff, and academia clung to csh long after it had already begun to smell funny. But having a *script* that needs csh does not mean you need to run csh as your *interactive* shell. That's totally different. > comp@AbNormal:~$ csh > Bad : modifier in $ '/'. > AbNormal:~% > > I've never seen this before but the compilation process still worked. > > What's going on? Ask your academia comrades. Nobody outside of academia will know, because nobody else still uses csh. For anything. It's just bad.
