It's possible that a bash-specific syntax is being used here, and you're using a POSIX shell, like ksh or dash. That's the case in Ubuntu: $ ls -l /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-06-09 16:27 /bin/sh -> dash Having said that, I have the source to ruby-1.9.1-p429 unpacked on my machine, where it compiled successfully, and I can't find mkmain.sh anywhere. Can you post the first two lines of that file? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
