Install error: "/bin/sh: bad interpreter"
« on: October 10, 2005, 05:56:35 pm »
I just downloaded the PlaneShift installer selfexecutor and tried to install it under SuSE 9.3 Pro german, by opening a console and starting it as a shell script; this is the result:

Code: [Select]
bash: ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.linux.x86-2.run: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Keine Berechtigung

(\"Keine Berechtigung\" ~ \"access denied\" or \"you don\'t have the required rights\").

I even started a root session (su) but this didn\'t help. The interpreter \"sh\" exists as /bin/sh. The file has the attributes \"u=rwx g=rwx o=r-x\".

Any other ideas where the reason could be?

this might be extreme but try this - make a backup copy of the file /bin/sh and then delete it
then make a symbolic link from bash to sh like link -s /bin/bash /bin sh or something like that.  Then see if the error persists

:O

I only checked the existence, not the details...

\"/bin/sh\" is implemented as a symbolic link on \"/bin/bash\" already. Let\'s see if SuSE 9.3 supports the \"outdated\" interpreter natively at all - but I doubt a bit if it is available for online update.

P.S.: No, \"sh\" as a binary is not available for installation.

I\'ll try ith with Ubuntu now, too.

I use 9.3 pro and the installer works well (get a seg fault when trying to run the game but thats another issue.)

Haven\'t made any changes to bash all I did was chmod the installer to 777 and ran as user.


*oh and made sure that user was a member of the \"game\" group

Code: [Select]

chmod a+x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.linux.x86-2.run


Without that I get the same error message:
bash: ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.linux.x86-2.run: Permission denied

EDIT: Well, \"/bin/sh\" is missing in the error message, but I might have a slightly different version of bash.

@ lanser:

\"game\" group? What \"game\" group? I never created a group named \"game\". I didn\'t know that an installer prefers a group called \"game\" over being logged in as root when installing...
__

@ Bereror:

I already documented the attributes, they were sufficient (775 -- \"others\" shouldn\'t need write access).
__

In general:

Under Ubuntu, I was able to install the game (after installing the \"dialog application\"). And afterwards, I could play it under SuSE - next step: checking the nVidia driver installation under Ubuntu...

On running the installer you get the following:
well I do anyway so I made sure that my $user is a member of games as well as chmod 777 :)

**edit:  most wierd I\'ve just tried again and it will even run from a double click in Konqueror

I did not even get that far. SuSE Linux did not even start the installer shellscript part at all, it looks to me. And I ran the installer as user \"root\".

Or maybe, I could try to run the installer with some \"extra-verbose\" option to get a maximum of debugging messages?

I think people are getting confused between the various Linux installers going around. Platyna\'s one was a *.run, whereas Xordans new one is a *.bin.

I\'ve never tried Platyna\'s installer, but it seems to be unmaintained anyway (I guess it should still work until the next update though). Xordans is the new one to use, although at the moment I think it\'s too new - the CVS snapshot it is based on is a little unstable for most people.

The screenshot in lansers post is Xordans, which gives much more options (system wide install or not, game group options, etc).

I don\'t know about \"the one\'s installer\" or \"the other one\'s installer\"; I downloaded the only installer I know, from the italian PlaneShift website.
