20) ./replaceCSET (look for close spelling.)
21) cd / which cc (to see if it will pull the correct cc compiler)
22) if you don't have a file to compile try touch foo.c and then cc foo.c (you
will get errors, but it should compile)
try compiling.
Note: If you are reconfiguring IFORLS, try to cd /var/ifor and delete .dat and
.ibx files then run the ./i4cfg –script again
