Issue in some scripts with usage of "set" command

[jscatena88]

I was receiving an error message in the GUI trying to run the "Migration" step, "set: Variable name must begin with a letter". Poking round it seems that line 169 in magic_db.sh has the issue. Specifically changing
set techfile ${techdir}/${techfile}
to
set techfile=${techdir}/${techfile}
fixed the issue. I believe there is a similar issue in magic_drc.sh line 150

also in magic_gds.sh

seems to stem from the 2/22 commit "Modified the way that the magic scripts and the manager GUI handle "

I'm having the same problem.

I changed:
magic_db.sh
magic_gds.sh
magic_drc.sh

to:
set techfile=${techdir}/${techfile}

but it didn't move past Migration
Any other suggestion?

I also found the same thing in magic_views.sh

@jscatena88 Thanks for telling us about this modification. Was able to get past migration with those changes.

Now stuck at LVS just like @K0rrid0r mentions at #23 .
