Re: [Gumstix-users] strange syntax error

Hi Ben,

Is /bin/sh pointing to dash (or something else) instead of bash on the machine you're using to build the package?

It's just a wild guess, but forgetting to make sure /bin/sh points to bash (it is common for it to point to dash in Ubuntu and soon Debian machines) has gotten me into trouble before (though I suspect if that were the case you'd have encountered other problems before now).

Best Regards,
Na'Tosha Bard

So I discovered the "file" command, and ran "file libnmc.so.0.1" and "file
hop".  Here is the output:
      libnmc.so.1.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, version 1 (SYSV),
not stripped
      hop: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

As far as I know, this implies that they are in fact compiled for the
gumstix.  Does anybody know what might be causing this error?  I can't find
anything useful with google.  Thanks for the help.
