I'm still running WordPerfect, that wonderfull wordprocessor. I have upgraded to 10.2 and so I had to reinstall shlibs5 and WordPerfect again. Following the instructions I went, as su, to the directory of the CD and entered ./install.wp The return was bash: ./install.wp: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Access denied

What can I do?

Thanks in advance, Andre den Oudsten

- use OpenOffice :-) - seriously though...just my 10 cents..this install.wp is a script, right? - if so, perhaps searchnig for /bin/sh and replacing it with /bin/bash is a solution? - I really don't know, just thought if that did it, then it would be easy...

Thanks.

This procedure worked untill 10.1, so I suppose it must be something else. How should I replace /bin/sh by /bin/bash ?

Thanks,

Andre

This is really strange because on Linux systems, /bin/sh is actually a symlink to /bin/bash. What is the output of:

ls -l /bin/sh

?

Charles

The result is /bin/sh -> bash Not too much, isn't it? Andre -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I commonly encounter the same error when shell scripts have passed through some non-unix system and been converted to cr+lf line endings. Copy the files from the CD and do a "dos2unix" on them. /Lennart fredag 22 december 2006 13:26 skrev Carlos E. R.:

Don't. It is a symlink, that can't be the problem.

I remember seeing that error message before, but I can't remember why. Maybe the script is on a noexec partition or drive (CD), as Dominique said: check the output of the command "mount".

Google it... there are over 30000 hits, one of them will hit the mark ;-)

Use dos2unix

If the file resides on a CD, as I think, it could be copied over to the HD andconverted there. Also, there are options to the mount command to do the conversion on the fly - I have never used it, I'm just mentioning the posibility, or even that the automount has done some thing of the sort unasked:

conv=b[inary] / conv=t[ext] / conv=a[uto] The fat file system can perform CRLF<-->NL (MS-DOS text format to UNIX text format) conversion in the kernel. The following conversion modes are available:

binary no translation is performed. This is the default.

text CRLF<-->NL translation is performed on all files.

auto CRLF<-->NL translation is performed on all files that don't have a "well-known binary" extension. The list of known extensions can be found at the beginning of fs/fat/misc.c (as of 2.0, the list is: exe, com, bin, app, sys, drv, ovl, ovr, obj, lib, dll, pif, arc, zip, lha, lzh, zoo, tar, z, arj, tz, taz, tzp, tpz, gz, tgz, deb, gif, bmp, tif, gl, jpg, pcx, tfm, vf, gf, pk, pxl, dvi).

Programs that do computed lseeks won't like in-kernel text conversion. Several people have had their data ruined by this translation. Beware!

For file systems mounted in binary mode, a conversion tool (fromdos/todos) is available.

I did do a dos2unix conversion on install.wp and after that I got the same results with ./install.wp as before with sh ./install.wp. I get some eight new maps with no content. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Do you have the sh interpreter installed? In a terminal enter "sh" without quotes, on my system (10.0)the prompt tells me that I'm in an sh shell. Mike@P-733:~> sh sh-3.00$ sh-3.00$ exit exit Mike@P-733:~>

If you get something similar to this then there is a problem with the script.

When I use the command sh ./install.wp or bash ./install.wp about ten empty maps are installed at / So there is reaction on these commands, but not those I usualy got up to Suse 10.1 Is the script install.wp, that's from 1999, too old for the last kernel?

Stupid question: where did you find shlibs5? It would be a pleasure to reinstall WordPerfect. I'm still with 10.1

I found them on the dvd of SuSE 7.1 , 8.1 and 9.0 Andre -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
