I have an AMAHI server (amahi.org) that runs on FC10.
I am trying to execute a simple script that includes:
function correct { echo echo 'Is this correct (1=Yes,0=No): ' read answer } correct
But this fails with:
./test1 '/test1: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `{ '/test1: line 1: `function correct {
But this little snippit runs fine on my notebook, ergo I am missing some important little rpm. I would like to add as little as needed, as this is suppose to be a production system, but then again simple script elements like this SHOULD work.
Or is it an environment problem?
The problem could be in parsing what comes before the 'function correct {' line. If you can, paste the script at fpaste.org, and then send a link to the list for further analysis.
Turns out to be <ctl-M> s at the end of each line. Now I have to get the developer to figure out how he got these in the file and why it works on his system and not on mine....
