$R2LIB environment variable not set?

[jrph...@email.uark.edu]

I'm trying to use the prebuilt linux x86 64 bit build and I'm having issues with environment variables on my linux Mint install.  

$ csh vicset1.csh 

    ran fine, but 

$ csh vicset2.csh 

   V2UTILEXE: Undefined variable

is the output I got from this.  

I tried the first test program and my shell informs me that no file /gen exists.  

It's all a little confusing.  If someone could help, that would be awesome.

You have to run "source" rather than "csh" on the setup files. Source
runs it *in* the current shell, so environment variables set by the
script are still set once it exits. "csh" creates a new shell, so any
env vars set in that shell go away when the command does.

So...

setenv V2TOP /where/ever/...
source $V2TOP/vicset1.csh
source $V2TOP/vicset2.csh

If source doesn't work, you're probably using bash as a shell. Switch
to csh (or better yet, tcsh), should be a simple:

tcsh

to do that.

(If you really really want to use bash instead of csh, if you do csh or
tcsh, and run the setups, and then invoke another shell via "bash" then
the env vars should be inherited and you're (mostly) good to go.
However, we strongly recommend using csh/tcsh with VICAR).

Hope that helps...
