hmm... but if there were some problem with the escaping mechanism, it would= _never_ work. the weird thing is that it fails intermittently. I can run= a command 3 times and fail and on the 4th attempt it works just fine... -----Original Message----- From: Larry Berlinski [mailto:LBe...@in...] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 2:10 PM To: min...@li...

<quote who="Calder, Erick"> > ideas anyone else? it's weird for software to behave intermittently. > There are reasons why I decided to supply perl in msysDTK. This is most likely one of them. Yes the version of perl in msysDTK is old and limited in functionality. I would love to have it interoperate with MSYS. The Cygwin example may not work for MSYS as paths should be converted before spawning the ActiveState perl. MSYS also does not have cygpath which this page seems dependent on. Unless the win32 version of perl has gone out of its way to enforce use of \\ for the directory delimitor then / should suffice for all API calls. Spawning the native shell cmd.exe/command.com is the only reason I know to modify the directory delimitor. I wish you luck, Earnie > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry Berlinski [mailto:LBe...@in...] > Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 2:10 PM > To: min...@li... > Subject: RE: [Mingw-msys] bad interpreter > > >>From: Calder, Erick >>I have a problem, a description of which and its solution may >>be found at the link below: >> >> http://www.cs.unc.edu/~jeffay/dirt/FAQ/cygwin-perl.html >> >>the solution, however, seems to have a problem in that at >>apparently random times, in trying to run a script, I get the >>following error: >> >> "bad interpreter: No such file or directory" >> >>any suggestions? > > Your problem may be due to the number of levels of calls that occur within > your script.

Could this problem be something as simple as not escaping whitespace? The script looks as though it might break when your path has spaces. -- Tuomo ... <- cloaked tagline |
