Well, cleanIDE  went through four stages. It seems that you are using
one of the buggy versions. 

(1) Version 1. This version does not compile, does not launch the
application.  It stayed only two days in the distribution site.
(2) Version 2. The bugs of Version 1 were fixed. However,
this version does not accept paths with spaces. Therefore, you
must remove spaces from all directory names. You must also
specify version 917 for the ABC machine. After this, it works
almost flawless.
(3) Version 3. Clean team substituted Version 3 for Version 2,
in order to fix the problem with spaces in path names. However,
they introduces a bug even worse. Now, it is not possible to
change path names in the environment. This is the version which
is in the distribution site right now. Since the person who works
in the cleanIDE is in vacation, in the meantime, you have only one way out:
Get a copy of Version 2.
