Eike,

the problem is probably that you use a different shell (bash ?) than
xds_inst is meant to be used with (tcsh or csh).

Someone who regularly uses bash (maybe your system admininistrator?)
should not have any difficulties in translating xds_inst into "bash
language".

Even if you use tcsh or csh, you should "source" xds_inst (i.e. not
execute it). The only purpose of xds_inst is to put the binaries into
your $PATH. If they are already in your $PATH (like when they reside in
/usr/local/bin), then you don't really need xds_inst.

HTH,

Kay
