"eselect env" generates /etc/profile.csh with bad setenv syntax. Setenv does not use an "=" after the variable name. This causes Tcsh (and I'm presuming Csh) to choke with a syntax error. Example line: setenv PAGER='/usr/bin/less' Should be: setenv PAGER '/usr/bin/less' emerge --info: Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.17-gent oo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled ] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-tbird -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shu tdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/shar e/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dv ips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/con fig/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/bind /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/ terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-tbird -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distcc distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sa ndbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirr ors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.llarian.net/ http://gentoo.chem.wis c.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca/" LINGUAS="en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/d istfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://gts.jsbc.cc/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X a52 aac aalib acl acpi aim alsa apache2 apm arts asf audiofile avi bash-completion bcmath berkdb bitmap-fonts blas bluetooth bonobo bzip2 cdpar anoia cdr clamav cli cpdflib crypt cscope cups curl dba dga directfb dlloader do c dri dts dv dvb dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd est ethereal exif fam fbcon ffmpeg fftw flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gmp gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal howl idn imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 isdnlog java javascrip t joystick jpeg kde kdeenablefinal lapack lcms libcaca libg++ libwww lm_sensors mad maildir matroska mhash mikmod mime mmap mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg multi user mysql ncurses nls nptl nsplugin nvidia offensive ogg openal opengl oss pam pcre pda pdflib pear perl php png pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline real reflection samba sdl seamonkey search server session shorten sndfile snmp socks 5 sox speex spell spl ssl svg svga szip tcltk tcpd tetex theora tidy tiff truety pe truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb v4l vcd vhosts vorbis wifi win32codecs wi nbind wmf xface xine xml xmms xorg xpm xtended xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_de vices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux linguas_en_US userland_GNU video _cards_fbdev video_cards_neomagic video_cards_nv video_cards_nvidia video_cards_ vesa video_cards_vga" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTA GE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
