UBUNTU
« on: February 03, 2011, 03:49:50 PM »
I am trying to run VULCAN an NASA Langley research Center Computational Fluid Dynamics program on my PC.  I have UBUNTU as my os.  When I read the scripts from NASA however the UBUNTU Terminal gets the 'setenv' statement mixed up and asks me if I want 'netenv' instead.  This is a problem that is holding me back from installing VULCAN and the UBUNTU support people still have not resolved the whys or wherefores of this problem.  Anybody else had this problem?

Did you read this?
http://www.computerhope.com/unix/usetenv.htm

And that magically adds setenv to Ubuntu?

with Ubuntu and it's variants (Mint, KUbuntu, etc) you should use export:

Code: [Select]
export variable "value"

you may be able to use an alias to get the (makefile?) to run properly:
Code: [Select]
alias setenv=export
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

What shell are you using?
Use a C shell.  Like tcsh
