Hi folks Most of you won't want to know about this....
It seems that on Ubuntu, there is a difference between the Bourne shell (sh) and the "Bourne-again" shell (bash). On most Linuces, the two are synonymous, though the iMosflm launch script uses specifically sh syntax rather than using the bash extensions. This error is raised by the shell (sh) when testing the HOSTTYPE environment variable, which seems to be defined under bash but not sh. The test is actually to see if you're running on an Intel Mac, and is ignored because of the "unexpected operator" error - so it should be harmless, since Ubuntu isn't OSX. If it isn't harmless, please let us know! On 28 Jan 2011, at 19:44, Andrew T.
