#43798: .cshrc - setenv path not in quotes ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: joseph.montibello@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by mf2k@…): * cc: joseph.montibello@… (removed) * component: ports => base Old description:
Hi,
I'm using macports on Mavericks, with tcsh as my shell. I noticed that upon opening my terminal screen, I was seeing "setenv: Too many arguments." I looked at my .cshrc file and saw this:
# MacPorts Installer addition on 2014-05-22_at_14:46:03: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts. setenv PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH # Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.
I think this setenv was causing the problem because my local $PATH setting has escaped space characters in it, and the whole thing is enclosed in quotes. I think this problem would be solved if macports would simply wrap its setenv PATH in quotes:
setenv PATH "/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"
Note that I'm not a real programmer so I may not know what I'm talking about, but I thought if I was right this might help someone else.
Thanks for your work on macports!
