Ubuntu

I am trying to install tcsh package in ubuntu 11
When i tried to invoke the tcsh,i was prompted to contact administrator to install tcsh package.
Since i am also the admin on my system its my job to install tcsh

I have downloaded tcsh package named "tcsh-6.17.00.tar", since i don not have online access with my laptop.. i will have to learn how to install tcsh offline.

please advice how to?

But why?
you can try the usual actions:

Code:

tar -xf tcsh-6.17.00.tar
cd tcsh-6.17.00
./configure
make
sudo make install

But tcsh is an old package and maybe you will need some twiks.
Another way - you can download deb package from http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/i386/tcsh/download and

Code:

sudo dpkg -i tcsh_6.17.02-4_i386.deb

I am new in to shells,as an intern my work is mainly on c shell.
I wish there was an universal shell which can interpret all shells
anyway, thanks for the answers, let me try.

Also, i need to run these commands in the directory where i am keeping the tcsh package?

and./configure return an error: command not supported

I've just checked. It's works fine for me but I'm afraid you need a few development packages to compile it. The best way to download the deb package. Anyway you should download something and deb package is the smallest and easiest variant.

Its working now, I have installed the tcsh package. Just one doubt.
the awk command is not available. Is that normal.

I tried checking awk --help, but its an invalid syntax for my system.

I think there is something error on that Tcsh package. Try to install it again if ever it gonna happen again i think you should install another one...

This particular command doesn't work properly... after i enter "sudo make install"
after a while the process is stuck and i get error.

Your second method works, but I can't find the "awk" in the installed package.
