Description
Hi,
I'm using macports on Mavericks, with tcsh as my shell. I noticed that upon opening my terminal screen, I was seeing "setenv: Too many arguments." I looked at my .cshrc file and saw this:
# MacPorts Installer addition on 2014-05-22_at_14:46:03: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts. setenv PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH # Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.
I think this setenv was causing the problem because my local $PATH setting has escaped space characters in it, and the whole thing is enclosed in quotes. I think this problem would be solved if macports would simply wrap its setenv PATH in quotes:
setenv PATH "/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"
Note that I'm not a real programmer so I may not know what I'm talking about, but I thought if I was right this might help someone else.
Thanks for your work on macports!
