RE: Installation Instructions

 
This is most likely due to using the csh shell and not bash.

On freebsd do this:
cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2
make install clean
rehash

Then, before you run the for loop, type bash to switch shells.

Im not fluent on shell scripting, but this is what I get on FreeBSD ->
hivemind# for f in *.dist ; do cp $f `basename $f .dist` ; done
for: Command not found.
f: Undefined variable.

I dont have the "for" command on my system.
The addition, that I provided, is just another way of doing things...
