Title: Installed bash but now getting /bin/bash: bad interpreter ??
Post by: magicpio on December 18, 2010, 06:23:30 PM

Hi,
I want to install Xampp.
For this I installed the bash extension first.

1. Do I have to start bash manually or is it started automatically afetr next bootup?
(In fact, I entered "bash" as su).

I installed xampp.
Starting xampp gives following error:

bash: /opt/lampp/lampp: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Could anyone please tell me what I´m missing here?

Thanks
Pio

Bash is not in /bin.
'which bash' will give you the path.

/bin/bash is included in the extension as a symlink to /usr/local/bin/bash as that is where it is expected in most scripts, so it should work as expected unless that symlink is broken or another similar file issue.

Jason is correct.
Perhaps bash.tcz is not actually loaded.

which bash gives
/usr/local/bin/bash

in /bin is definitely no bash.

I created a symlink in /bin to /usr/loc.......
and now it works. (but gives errors related to ipv6 I guess, so I will install this package as well.)

But I had to start bash twice in a console window as su??

Thanks for your help guys!

It sounds like the startup script did not run, it is what creates the /bin/bash symlink as well as a few other things.

/usr/local/bin/bash

As expected!
Same on my system where there are no issues of 'missing link'   ;)

For this I installed the bash extension first.

1.) In what way have you installed bash.tcz (AppBrwoser, tce-load) ?
2.) Do you have the script "/usr/local/tce.installed/bash" ? This script creates the link "/bin/bash -> /usr/local/bin/bash". What happens if you manually execute this script?
