[ferret_users] Ferret Installation problem



Dear ferret community,
      I tried to install ferret according to the ferret website instructions.  There was a problem with the Finstall shell file. when run the Finstall it showing the following error

paul@paul-desktop:/usr/local/ferret$ /usr/local/ferret/bin/Finstall

bash: /usr/local/ferret/bin/Finstall: /bin/csh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory.

 

When i replace csh with bash in the Finstall file, the output as follows

 

paul@paul-desktop:/usr/local/ferret/bin$ /usr/local/ferret/bin/Finstall

 This script can do two things for you to help install FERRET:

 

 (1) Install the FERRET executables into FER_DIR/bin from the

 compressed .gz file you got (usually) via ftp.  You'll want to run this

 option if you're installing FERRET for the first time, and also if

 you're updating the FERRET you have with new 5/26/2009executables.

 

 (2) Modify the shell script 'ferret_paths_template'

 to set environment variables FER_DIR and FER_DSETS to the directories

 at your site where the FERRET software and demonstration data are.

 

 The resulting file will be named 'ferret_paths' and placed in a

 directory you choose.  Executing the 'source' command on that

 file will set up a FERRET user's environment so that FERRET can be run.

 

 This option usually only needs to be run if you are installing FERRET

 on your system for the first time, and 'ferret_paths' is not yet set up.

/usr/local/ferret/bin/Finstall: line 32: menu:: command not found

 

 Enter your choice:

 (1) Install executables, (2) Customize 'ferret_paths', (3) Exit and do nothing

 (1,2, or 3) --> /usr/local/ferret/bin/Finstall: line 37: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

/usr/local/ferret/bin/Finstall: line 37: `set choice = $<'

paul@paul-desktop:/usr/local/ferret/bin$

 

 I am using Ubuntu 8.04.4 GNU/linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686 and BASH kernel.
 
Please instruct me what to do
 
thanks in advance
