I'm aware of the basic problem.

The point is:

Ubuntu (any other Linux system ??) does not set this link making csh and tcsh the same.

Should we therefore change all scripts to /bin/tcsh   ???

Would there be some Linux systems where this would introduce problems (with their default installations), for instance because a tcsh is NOT installed by default (while a csh is) ?

If all Linux (Mac !!! ???) systems understand /bin/tcsh, this change would be fine with me.

Any response from "Linux gurus" with experience with different Linux versions (I only have Suse and Redhat) would be appreciated.

If you are not seeing the error, do you may have a system where csh is symoblic link to tcsh like in the past post at:

As mentioned in my past post at:

The issue should be related to the long sed commands for "alias update_makefiles" and perhaps also now "alias define_installdate".  I think I did some testing and was able to test a partial fix with csh, but I end up have to used many variable or something like that split the sed command up.  I kind of gave up with that approach to fixing it when I found I could just change csh to tcsh.

This is a difficult problem, since it seems to be specific to Ubuntu and I cannot verify/reproduce/fix it on my Linux versions.

While the fix to change csh to tcsh (in the first line of siteconfig_lapw) is "trivial", I'd be more interested to "understand" and "fix" the   "word too long" problem in original csh.

For compatibility reasons I'm afraid to change  all headers from csh to tcsh in all our scripts, because it is rather unclear if we introduce problems on some Linux systems by that.

FYI, if you encounter the 'Word too long' error when trying to install 19.1 similar to 18.2 [1], I placed my siteconfig_lapw.patch for 19.1 at [2].
