Dave,

Verify that you are running a csh when you source the Gemenviron script.
Perhaps you have something strange with your shell or your path.
Try setting a basic path prior to sourcing and building:

setenv PATH .:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
source Gemenviron

if you still have trouble, verify that:
echo $SHELL

responds with /bin/csh and please send the contents of the Gemenviron
script since its possible that upon editing it locally, it has gotten fouled.
