. is a bash internal which evaluates the contents of the file in the current
shell. Since you’re running csh, it’s just looking for an executable named .,
which does not exist (the csh analog of bash’s . is source). /bin/. _is_ in
your path, but it’s a directory (namely /bin itself), which cannot be executed,
hence the error. Perhaps you meant to do
./hello
which means (both in bash and csh) run the script hello in the current working
directory (.), rather than looking for it in the list of directories in $PATH
