which error?

discoverer — Tue, 03 Jul 2001 05:42:04 GMT

Hi All friends,

I met an error of 'which' on a HP W/S:
# which cc
then: then/endif not found.

Can any master-hand tell me how to solve it?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like /usr/bin/which is corrupt. Have you another w/s from which you can copy a clean version?

Hi

Ur `which` is working with some other file

#which sh . Is it giving exact output ?

If yes ur which command is ok.
Normally cc used to be there in /usr/ccs/bin. there will be link in /usr/bin. So please checkup whether these directories are there in PATH.

Hi,
which x tells you where x resides
if not found mean, cc is not in your system

If which is failing for everything you are looking for, perhaps you have an invalid .cshrc file in your home directory, since /usr/bin/which runs as a csh script.

Hi All friends,

Thanks for you help!

It shows that Robin is right -- I wrote a lot of things in the .cshrc, and they lead to this error!

Thanks again,Robin.

The reason in detail:
'which' sources (executing) the user's .cshrc to determine Both aliases and path.

I put if/then in my .cshrc, but without endif.
