</span>Howdy,<br>

Most likely because the path is messed up.<br>

</span>Howdy,<br>
<br>
Please run<br>
<br>
cat ~/.cshrc<br>
<br>
and let me know what is there. It appears that there are some commands that can't be executed because of the messed up path variable.<br>
<br>
You can change the login shell by checking the `Command (complete path):' button and inserting /bin/bash for the command. Once you do that Quit Terminal and restart it; you prompt should look a bit different (probably ending with a $ rather than a %). Then let me know what<br>
<br>
echo $PATH<br>
<br>
gives.<br>
