Your csh tells you that it can't find the command "mkdir"
which should be in your /bin directory (here: OS X 10.4.4)
and is (hopefully) a sign for a wrong search path setting.

Please check which csh you are using and if you can find mkdir
from the command line. Type these commands:

which csh
which mkdir

Also check the output of

echo $PATH

You realy should fix this csh problem but here is a quick
workaround:

Create a new directory (with "Finder") or - if this works -
from the BASH prompt:

mkdir /tmp/falsecolor

And change the first line (after the comments) in falsecolor
(probably the file "/usr/local/bin/falsecolor"):

from:     set td=/tmp/fc$$
to:       set td=/tmp/falsecolor

and the last line:

from:     rm -rf $td
to:       rm -rf $td/*

You can only run one instance of falsecolor at a time now
but it will help until you found and fixed the real problem.
