Just thought I'd add to what Don Cragun said. Your OS version may be deeply tied to script you are attempting to run. A few *nix version have csh as a default shell. Most these days will not even have csh installed by default. Or it may be installed somewhere other than /bin/csh, like /usr/bin/csh. You might want to run a `which csh` to ensure its installed and the correct path is being used.
