Currently the tcsh scripts assume a normal Linux .rpm or .deb package installation with a dependency on csh/tcsh being installed under /bin. We do not assume spack, modules, etc. as may be used on clusters is going to configure software images such that it will conflict with that setup. So the tcsh scripts will not run unless /bin/tcsh exists or maybe an alias would work.
If it’s not possible to do a normal install of the .deb or .rpm package to directly install all the system command and library dependencies, then I recommend analyzing the package files to check all the dependencies are otherwise installed.
"If: expression syntax errors" can be from executing the wrong shell. In the case of trying to execute bash scripts, that error might be from running something like “dash” on an Ubuntu flavor of Linux instead of the full-blown “bash" shell.
