No plan.
The text after "Shell:", highlighted in red,
will tell you which shell is in use. The value listed is a path to the
shell executable.
Examples:
- tcsh
- csh
- sh
- ksh
- zsh
To eliminate this error add, the following to the environment shell
script. This is usually a file name .[shell_name] :
- sh or ksh
-
OPENWINHOME=/usr/openwin
XFILESEARCHPATH=/usr/openwin/lib/locale/%L/%T/%N%S:/usr/openwin/lib/%T/%N%S
export OPENWINHOME XFILESEARCHPATH - csh
- setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin
setenv XFILESEARCHPATH /usr/openwin/lib/locale/%L/%T/%N%S:/usr/openwin/lib/%T/ %N%S
NOTE!
If Autocad is used frequently, it is advised to add the above information into your .profile or .cshrc files, so that it doesn't need to be inputted every time Autocad is executed.
