Question

I’m trying to run the CodeSourcery arm-2011.03.42 BASH script in Ubuntu 12.04. At the top of the script is the following:

#! /usr/bin/env bash

But, when I execute it, I get the following errors:

line 140: grep: command not found

line 140: sed: command not found

I can run both grep and sed from the command line, but not in the script.

Here’s what line 140 look like

env_var_list=$(export | \
    grep '^declare -x ' | \
    sed -e 's/^declare -x //' -e 's/=.*//')

If I change the first line to

#!/bin/sh

I get the following error:

Line 51: Syntax error: “(” unexpected (expecting “}”)

Here’s what Line 51 looks like

check_pipe() {
    local -a status=("${PIPESTATUS[@]}")  #<-- Line 51
    local limit=$1
    local ix

The #<-- Line 51 actually doesn’t appear in the shell script. I just added it to this post for clarity.

I’ve tried dos2unix and a number of other things, but I just can’t win. I would very much appreciate your help.

I changed this line in the script

pushenvvar PATH /usr/local/tools/gcc-4.3.3/bin

to

pushenvvar PATH /usr/local/tools/gcc-4.3.3/bin:/bin

and it seems to work now.
