i do... 8-)
the installation is done in sh, not csh.
if csh, if you try to do something which invovles filename globbing,
and it doesn't find any matches, then you get the "no match" error.
in sh, it simply returns the original string...
for example (on gaia, an ultrix box):
(from csh)
201 [gaia] cgd % echo *bar*
echo: No match.
(and from sh)
$ echo *bar*
*bar*

(who tried it with *foo*, then found that he had 6 files that matched that! 8-)
