Oh, seems you also want to read the sh manpage about environment
variables... :)  (hint: no spaces around the = and you need to
`export' them too.)

 And don't put it in root's profile but in yours (unless you
actually login as root when you fetch distfiles instead of using su,
but in that case you need to modify root's .cshrc, and csh syntax
for setting the environment is different too.  and doing everything
as root is not a good idea anyway...)

 HTH,
