Problem with script substitution when running script
- by tucaz
Hi!
I'm new to Linux so this probably should be an easy fix, but I cannot see it.
I have a script downloaded from official sources that is used to install additional tools for fsharp but it gives me a syntax error when running it.
I tried to replace ( and ) by { and } but eventually it lead me to another error so I think this is not the problem since the script works for everybody. I read some articles that say that my bash version maybe is not the right one.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and here is the error:
install-bonus.sh: 28: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")
And this is line 27, 28 and 29:
{
declare -a DIRS=("${!3}")
FILE=$2
And the full script:
#! /bin/sh -e
PREFIX=/usr
BIN=$PREFIX/bin
MAN=$PREFIX/share/man/man1/
die()
{
echo "$1" &2
echo "Installation aborted." &2
exit 1
}
echo "This script will install additional material for F# including"
echo "man pages, fsharpc and fsharpi scripts and Gtk# support for F#"
echo "Interactive (root access needed)"
echo ""
