OK I installed Mandrake 10 official and all things seem to be normal. I still get the same message when I try to run a bash script.
#!/bin/env bash
shopt -s -o nounset
declare LINE
exec 3< /home/dave/scripts/test.dat
while read LINE <&3 ; do printf "%s\n" "$LINE" done
exit 0
and here is the error message I get.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]$ ./new.sh : bad interpreter: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]$
Anyone have any ideas. I used whereis bash and it returned /bin/bash.
Everything seems normal and I guess I'm over my head. Anyone with any suggestions?
You made two changes, not one. You both changed the distro install ("installed Mandrake 10") -AND- changed the shebang line in the script ("#!/bin/env"). The second change is definitely wrong.
Go back to the original shebang line ("#!/bin/bash") and see if it works now. It does on my system (that is, I get errors, but they involve my not having a file named /home/dave/scripts/test.dat).
Or make the first line (probably; check where "env' is on your system) "#!/usr/bin/env bash". It too works here (up to the same error).
BTW, if I have the interpreter name wrong, I get a slightly different form of error message from you (on a Debian-Sid install). Here, I changed "bash" to "nash" and got this:
-bash: ./testscript.sh: /bin/nash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Not sure why you're not seeing all that stuff to the left of the ": bad interpreter" part. Could just be a difference between your default shell and mine (2.05b-19). Or it might indicate something odd about your script that is not making it through a representation as e-mail.
