if ("$FIND" != "") then
   echo "Found files"
else
   echo "No file found"
endif

find usually requires the wildcard to be escaped since it will assume it's part of the string you're looking for. Try this revision:

Code:
set FIND = `find . -name \*.c -print`
if ("$FIND" != "") then
   echo "Found files"
else
   echo "No file found"
endif
