how are you calling your script? If you are not using ./ to explicitely
point to the script the system will not be able to find it.

Do remember that the current directory (.) is NOT in your PATH by default
and should not be there.

Try ./script_program.

Oh, and execute rpm -q tcsh to ensure that you do actually have the csh
package installed.
