Just a second... What does foo || bar && baz mean? Does it mean: 1) * Run "foo". * If "foo" fails, run "bar". * If "foo" succeeds, run "baz". Or does it mean: 2) * Run "foo". * If "foo" fails, run "bar". * If "bar" succeeds, run "baz". My understanding is that 1) is how the shell will interpret things. My understanding of your patch is that you think 2) is the way things work... Change: test -d lib || mkdir lib && cd lib && pthon ... to: test -d lib || mkdir lib; cd lib && pthon ... Angus
