4.10.9 will not run

tomk · #1 (**permalink**) February 22nd, 2006

I've just upgraded from 4.10.5 to 4.10.9, running on Linux. 4.10.5 worked perfectly, but I get the following error with 4.10.9:

$ frostwire
: command not found:
: No such file or directory
: command not found:
: command not found3:
'unFrost.sh: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token `
'unFrost.sh: line 24: `look_for_java()

The error is somewhere in /usr/lib/frostwire/runFrost.sh. If I install 4.10.9, and then replace runFrost.sh with its 4.10.5 version, it works fine. Diffing the files tells me that every line has changed, even though they all look exactly the same to me.

Any ideas, anyone?

Which platform package are you using? And can you compare the lines in the script and tell me what the differences are?

I'm using the FrostWire-4.10.9-1.tar.gz tarball on Arch Linux, and as I mentioned, there is no difference between the two scripts to the human eye. If I diff them, I get this:

In other words, the system sees every line of the new script as a change from the original script, even though you or I don't.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

[edit: i'll actually have greg look into it]

Much appreciated.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Actually, I have the fix. It occurred to me that as Frostwire is cross-platform, the script might have been edited on Windows, which would cause it not to work on *nix. I ran

Code:

tr -d '\15\32'

over it to remove carriage returns and Ctrl-Zs, and it works now.

ultracross · #7 (**permalink**) February 22nd, 2006

hmm... I did build it on windows, but im sure I didnt edit any unix/linux scripts. I'll have gregorio build the *nix binaries and see if that fixes it.

I can confirm the bug and fix. Nice catch tomk.

Im getting the same messege as mentioned in the original post when trying to run frostwire... Im pretty new to linux, can someone please explain how to fix it so a person who know close to nothing about linux can understand??

tomk · #10 (**permalink**) March 13th, 2006

You need to do the following in a terminal, as root:

Code:

cat /usr/lib/frostwire/runFrost.sh | tr -d '\15\32'
