Hi,

Try this:
1. Type a command called as "pwd" on your terminal(where you have written your program), copy the result.

2. Now type the command "setenv PATH (result of pwd command, excluding the() braces):{$PATH}

This should work.

eg:1. pwd
/home/vishwa/programs

2. setenv PATH /home/vishwa/programs:{$PATH}
