Weird. Everything seems ok but you seem to be bumping on a problem
related to the shell in use :-/
Weirder... installed Eterm... and I can installkernel & install ports
fine. So looks like its only aterm & xterm that have given me a problem.
Hmmm. What's your login shell? Is it really invoked as a "login shell"
by your xterms/aterms (i.e. with the -ls option of xterm)?
I use /bin/tcsh. It's not invoked by any aterm/xterm options, its just
set in /etc/passwd. Is that what you meant?
Phil.
That's the first part. xterm doesn't {by default} set up your shell
as a "login" shell ... therefore it doesn't get certain environment
variables, and probably there are a few other things I don't know
about ...
A simple test: try typing "logout" to exit your xterm. If it responds
"not a login shell", then, well, it's not. Starting xterm with -ls should
help with the problem, as Giorgos stated.
Now, to further support the theory Giorgos has here, Eterm *does*
seem to use its "-l" option by default, so when using Eterm the terminal
would invoke tcsh as a login shell ... and things should work.
HTH,
Kevin Kinsey
