Hi,

I am trying to install a software in mac os X (10.4). The installation requires that I move the software to a particular location and set the path of the installed file to that location (eg; /Applications/darwin). I have moved the software to that location and I tried to alias the software to its location in the .cshrc file in my home directory. When I tried to source the .cshrc file, it gave me an error (alias ../file not found). Since I was in bash shell, I then switched to the c shell by typing tcsh and then sourced the .cshrc file. This time it showed the following error: tcsh: /usr/local/env/cshrc: No such file or directory. Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong and how I set the path of a particular software to a particular location in mac?
Thank you.
 
You might want to set your path, and not just define an alias (2 different things). For the C shell the line would go something like this:

Code: 
set path = ($path /Applications/darwin)

-or-

Code: 
setenv PATH ${PATH}:/Applications/darwin

Can you post the .cshrc file so we can better see what the problem is?
