Hello David,

Monday, June 24, 2002, 2:16:18 PM, you textually orated:

DB> List,
DB>         I'm trying to make/install Samba 2.2.5 and I'm following the directions 
DB> but get this error when I try to run ./configure
DB> Can someone provide assistance?  (I'm a n00b)

DB> [root@localhost source]# ./configure
DB> bash: ./configure: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

It's complaining about the first line in the ./configure script. I haven't
looked lately but I'm assuming this should say...
#!/bin/sh

If it does then the file is possibly corrupted.

One possibility is that you had unzipped/tarred it on a WinXX box then FTPed
it using binary transfer. This would put bad characters at the ends of the
lines and cause this error. Samba transfers could also do this.

You could check for bad characters using od.
od -c configure

If you see a lot of "\r \n" then it is in Win format (bad). It should be just
"\n"

If you simply untarred the source directly in place then you may want to
check the integrity of the download.


Have fun,
