I've found just recently that tcsh does not seem to work for me anymore. I've been using the Terminal with tcsh for a while and just today I opened the Terminal and found that instead of a prompt it just said [ Process Completed ] as thought it had automatically exited from the shell.
I have not touched the system config files for tcsh and am renamed my config files to be sure that I hadn't written a self quitting .tcshrc file or something like that.
I have found that I can use the Terminal by switching /bin/tcsh to /bin/zsh under the shell preferences options in the program.
csh doesn't work either.
a copy of the tcsh executable from my Darwin 1.0 distribution doesn't work.
A weird thing, emacs doesn't work either. Could there be a problem with not being able to find some init file or something? Trying to launch emacs from zsh give the following message :
zsh: exec format error: emacs
The same type of message that it gives if I try to launch csh or tcsh from zsh.
Trying to get a command from OS X via the login window with the user name >console brings me to a normal black screen but as soon as I enter my password the system kicks me back to the login window.
I don't know what to do. I do know that I definately don't want to reinstall OS X. If anyone has any ideas, or suggestions of what to do, I'm all hears. I've never had anything like this happen before.
