Sir,
Atlast the ferret started working. In my PC the ubuntu settings, i have
edited the apt.conf in /etc/apt/ then apt-get install csh worked. then i
installed csh and then Finstall worked. I was not happy with why this apt-get
is not working. then by giving the command
$synaptic
i got the synaptic package manager. i change the network preferences in the
settings.
then everything started working fine. at the end i installed libXm.so.3.
then used this in place of libXm.so.4 which ferret requires,by giving this command
$ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/liblibXm.so.4
I also uncommended the lines in source.list as u said in /etc/apt/
I tried then with the bashrc as you suggested too, it worked.
thanks a lot
simi

You do not try to do Finstall
do below steps
mkdir /usr/local/ferret
mkdir /usr/local/ferret_dsets
cp /path_to_downloded files /fer_environment.tar.gz
fer_executables.tar.gz /usr/local/ferret
cp fer_dsets.tar.gz /usr/local/ferret_dsets
cd /usr/local/ferret
tar -zxvf *.gz
cd ../
cd ferret_dsets
tar -zxvf *.gz
now set the paths in ferret_bash_template in ferret/bin/ and copy it to
/usr/local/ and
edit the 2 lines specified to suit the directories for fer_dsets and ferret
source the same in the .bashrc or .login.
hope this helps

HI simi,
It appears in your source list repositories may have
been commented
I am attaching here my version of source.list
which is there in
your system.
/etc/apt/source.list/etc/apt/source.list
you need to make sure that the repositories in my copy are not
commented
in your version
then you need to do an apt-get update and
try in synaptic you should see csh there.
Hope this helps.
with best regards,
Sudheer

HI,
Can you send the error message which will tell
if it
is a network prblem
another thing to try is to
type at prpmt
sudo synaptic
this will open a gui where there is a box with title Quick
Search. you
type there
csh
then it will show csh package and other related packages.
select the box left on the line where you see csh by right clicking
and selecting mark for installation . you will see apply get
activated on
top panel and you need to click on apply.
Hope this helps.
with best regards,
Sudheer

Hi Simi,
You need to issue the below command if your machine is net
connected and proxy is set up properly.
this will prompt for super user password and after getting
it will
install C shell in your pc
sudo apt-get install csh
with best regards,
Sudheer
