Installing library to Fedora 8

Hi,
   
  I have a problem about installing the Radiance's library to Fedora 8 by running "./makeall library". When I ran it, the system responded:
   
  bash: ./makeall: /bin/csh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
   
  I then searched for any csh files and found two files under a folder called 'etc'. These files are:
   
  etc/csh.login
  etc/csh.cshrc
   
  Are they the files that "makeall" was looking for? If so, how can I make it work?
   
  Thanks a lot for your help!
   
  Cheers,
  Kam

bash: ./makeall: /bin/csh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I then searched for any csh files and found two files under a folder called 'etc'. These files are:
etc/csh.login
etc/csh.cshrc

No. You found configuration files for the c-shell (that is csh), but makeall is searching for the binary, the "program" itself. I guess that you are using bash, which is the most common shell on Linux today.

Look for files called csh or tcsh in /bin, /usr/bin. If they do not exist, you will have to install a c-shell compatible package, most probably tcsh. I am not an ubuntu-user, on my debian box I would do so using apt-get install tcsh .

I hope this is of any help, Lars.

The makeall script is a c-shell script (csh). The typical Linux these days doesn't even install
the c-shell any more. That's why your system can't find the csh executable. Use your packet
manager to install csh (search for 'shell'). If it is already installed check if the path is correct.
It could be something else than '/bin/csh' though I doubt it.

I am a Fedora 8 user, and one of the small annoyances of F8 is that the default installation misses some useful packages. Nevertheless, I have been using Fedora since its inception, and F8 is the nicest of them all, mostly because package management now works right out of the box.

Pull down "Applications"->"Add/Remove Software", type in the root password, and then either search for or browse the list to find the "csh" or "tcsh" package(s). Install those, and you'll be on your way. Also, make sure that you have the gcc program/packages.
