Hi, 

I'm trying to run a script on ubuntu 7.04;

stig@stig-laptop:~/mosesdecoder$ ./regenerate-makefiles.sh 
./regenerate-makefiles.sh: 13: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

but then I get the syntax error. Below is the first lines in the script, line 13 in red. 



#!/bin/sh

# NOTE:
# Versions 1.9 (or higher) of aclocal and automake are required.

# For Mac OSX users:
# Standard distribution usually includes versions 1.6.
# Get versions 1.9 or higher
# Set the following variable to the correct paths
#ACLOCAL="/path/to/aclocal-1.9"
#AUTOMAKE="/path/to/automake-1.9"

function die () {
echo "$@" >&2
exit 1
}

...

I already have automake (GNU automake 1.9.6) and aclocal (GNU automake 1.9.6). Setting the paths is only for Mac OSX users, so I didn't try to set any of those paths. 

Anyone can explain this? Thanks for any help,

Stig

Hi.

the (inexistent) problem is the 1st line in combination with Ubuntu. 

When you run it using ./ it will use the shell you mention on first line, in your case:
#!/bin/sh

if you do a ls -l /bin/sh you will see that it's just a link to dash.
Ubuntu, since Edgy, replaced old sh with dash, creating a series of incompatibilities in a lot of scripts...

So, either you run:
bash regenerate-makefiles.sh 

or replace first line with:
#!/bin/bash
(or even remove the 1st line and environment will call it with bash)

or (losing generality) adapt it for dash:
remove the keyword function:
die() {
...
}

#!/bin/sh ==> #!/bin/bash

이렇게 바꾸니까 된다.
