Help me please

[jrafael]

hi.
i am new in linux. i have installed Ubuntu 6.10 (Full Gamers Version).
when i treat too install the program this error it appears

./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

please help me...what is the significate?

[lirucan]

firstly if posting an error please give a little more detail...

secondly have you followed all the step by step installation instructions found here in the Linux section of the forums???

Sounds like it is trying to run the program as a shell.  Did you do that from the shell prompt. 

Bring up a terminal and type

file ./Plan*

Should say something about being an executable for your processor.

If you put it on your desktop, run:

cd Desktop

first

I did everything according to the instructions that leave in the page as to install it...and it gives this error:
the executable this in desktop then I write:

cd Desktop

soon i put:

sudo sh ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin

and this is the next line that it appears

./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

this is all

taib...

try

Code: [Select]

sudo ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin or

Code: [Select]

sudo sh PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin what you are actually typing is "execute the execution of this binary" instead of "execute this binary"...

EDIT: -->  FYI: sh = ./

jrafael, don't use syntax "sh PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin", you are starting binary file, not shell script.

If "./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin" gives You that "Syntax error" message, You downloaded file is probably corrupt. Run:

md5sum PlaneShift_CBV0.3.018.bin

and compare obtained string with the one showed in already mentioned thread:  Installing on Linux and important information.. If it is different, You must redownload PlaneShift (maybe from different mirror).

EDIT: -->  FYI: sh = ./

FYI: You are wrong...

/begin

FYI: You are wrong...

ever installed the ATI driver binary???
you have to execute that as a shell...

but I accept your correction on there being a difference between ./ and sh
and can only say that ATI caused this misconception for me...
