What I've found when unpacking package.zip files on unix is the unexpected loss of the execute permissions. To show the execute permissions, use stat FILENAME stat /bin/sh stat ./create-administrator Look for x in the 'access' field.

Re: [Dspace-tech] problem executing create-administrator
Hi Felipe, When I first encountered the create-administrator script, I had problems. You might want to double-check all the earlier steps have been done well before using the command. Otherwise, # to make sure the script is in the current working directory ls # call the script ./create-administrator # otherwise cd [to where dspace is]/bin ./create-administrator As for sed and java, if your PATH environment variable is set appropriately and all necessary packages have been installed, try these on your command line # to show your PATH printenv |fgrep PATH # the absolute path to these commands should show type sed type java or you could try # perhaps as root updatedb # as dspace user locate sed locate java to show the shell you have, try printenv |fgrep SHELL I use redhat as well. -- Van Ly From: felipe Melero Sent: Wed 7/01/2009 11:22 PM To: dspace tech Subject: [Dspace-tech] problem executing create-administrator Hi all, I have a problem executing the script create-adminstrator, I get the following error: "bad interpreter". -bash-3.00$ ./create-administrator : bad interpreter: No such file or directory if I change the line inside the script #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash I get other errors: -bash-3.00$ ./create-administrator ./dsrun: line 61: sed: command not found ./dsrun: line 70: java: command not found Does anybody know how to make it work?

Why not write the scripts in a portable scripting language? Python and Perl spring to mind. Both are available for Windoze. Projects that needs scripts could use python, say, and the install could come with an ActivePython distribution which you can run/install if you need it. > >>> I have a problem executing the script > >>> create-adminstrator, I > >>> get the following error: "bad interpreter". > >>> > >>> -bash-3.00$ ./create-administrator > >>> : bad interpreter: No such file or directory > > -- Regards, Andrew M. http://www.andrewpetermarlow.co.uk -- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Does the system find it in your path if you type
which java or which sed?

Yes, I'm running it from dspace/bin directory but no way to get it working...

That's good. #!/bin/sh at the start of the script just tells the OS what shell
it should use to run the script, and it seems you have the required shell so
you shouldn't have to change it to use bash. What directory were you in when
you ran ./create-administrator ? Were you in the dspace/bin directory ?

Hi Robin,
it seems that is present on the machine, as well as bash.
-bash-3.00$ ls -l /bin/sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 616248 Apr 12 2006 /bin/sh

It sounds like /bin/sh is not present on your machine.
If that is the case then you will need to change script dsrun
as well as create-administrator.

Hi all,
I have a problem executing the script
create-adminstrator, I
get the following error: "bad interpreter".
-bash-3.00$ ./create-administrator
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
if I change the line inside the script
#!/bin/sh to
#!/bin/bash I get other errors:
-bash-3.00$ ./create-administrator
./dsrun: line 61: sed: command not found
./dsrun: line 70: java: command not found
Does anybody know how to make it work? I have
Red Hat Linux if helps.
Thanks in advance,

Re: [Dspace-tech] problem executing create-administrator
For what it's worth, I've had somewhat similar problems executing the scripts in the bin directory after transferring them from a Windows-based machine to a Unix-like system. You might check that the line endings in the file haven't been changed to DOS-style endings, and if they have, convert them back with a command such as dos2unix. Not sure this is the same issue but maybe worth checking into. felipe Melero wrote: > Yes, I'm running it from dspace/bin directory but no way to get it > working... > > surely is a matter of unix, I'm a chrooted user... > > regards > Felipe > > Robin Taylor escribió: >> That's good. #!/bin/sh at the start of the script just tells the OS what >> shell it should use to run the script, and it seems you have the required >> shell so you shouldn't have to change it to use bash.
