Dear Aanjhan,

It is a common problem in a surprisingly large number of Linux
distributions that /bin/csh has been obliterated.  One of the first
things I do when install a new OS is to find out where "tcsh" is
(usually /bin/tcsh), then make a symbolic link:

	cd /bin
	ln -s csh tcsh

so that "ls /bin/csh" should give you:

	lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 4 Nov 29  2004 /bin/csh -> tcsh

That will get makedbh working properly.

				Regards,
				Tim
