=>HIya
=> just wondering if someone has installed Phred/Phrap
=>and Consed program on FEDORA CORE 2. I have installed
=>the program and also build them succesfully but i
=>could not set the environmental variables when i give
=>the command
=>setenv PHRED_PARAMETER_FILE
=>/usr/local/etc/PhredPar/phred.dat i always get the
=>message no command found for setenv and I could not
=>this invoke any program.
=>I run set env from c shell.
=>
=>ps: sorry if this mail is inappropriate to fedora
=>forum as it is a query about a specific program that
=>could not load. My attempts to find a specific mailing
=>list for this query proved futile. There is no
=>intention from me to abuse the maillist.

=>Thanks ash#

setenv is built in to the csh. (Or maybe tcsh in this case.) If you're not 
finding it then you're probably running bash. To tell:

ps aux | grep $$

The proper way to set an environment variable is either:

export VAR=value

or you can do it just for the invocation of the program:
VAR=value program and its args
