Hello !

I just want to install Oreon (it's a plugin for Nagios) but I can't, I have this error when I run the script install.sh

# ./install.sh
functions: 21: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Have you got an idea ?

Sure. Looks like a syntax error. Post the code.

You could do this as well.

In the second line of the script, add set -n ,run the script and then see what is missing.

I have added set -n in the second line of the script and now I've :

./install.sh: 241: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

On linux it's running but not on FreeBSD...
For the code, I can post on the forum but there are 566 lines... are you sure that you want it ? And It's not my script, it the offical script of Oreon...

Have you got any idea ?

Post the code in and around of line #241.

the code :

236 \#\# Functions
237 \#\#
238
239 \# When exit on error
240
241 function error\(\)
242 \{
243     echo "ERROR"
244     exit 2
245 \}
246
247 \# Check apache version, and configure it. Ask to restart apache server
248 \# Make a copy of the original file as httpd.conf.initial

Make function error() to function error

Hi,

Yes, now I don't have error but it's doesn't work ;-( ...

Shell :

bash2-2.05b# ./install.sh
bash2-2.05b#

Try that and see where it fails.

bash2-2.05b# set +x
bash2-2.05b# ./install.sh

I've found, thanx a lot

What was the problem you found in the script, you never mentioned. :wink:

In the script there are "function functionname()" and I don't now why but if I don't write "function" before the "functionname" it's runnig...

But now I've a new problem :cry: : When I install the libart-2.3.3 with this command :

#portinstall libart-2.3.3

I can see this error : "

===> Installing for libart-2.3.3

===> libart-2.3.3 conflicts with installed package(s):
libart_lgpl2-2.3.17_1

  They install files into the same place.
  Please remove them first with pkg_delete\(1\).

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/libart.
*** Error code 1

"

I've tried to deinstall libart_lgpl2-2.3.17_1 but I've a new error :

bash2-2.05b# pkg_delete libart_lgpl2-2.3.17_1
pkg_delete: package 'libart_lgpl2-2.3.17_1' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
fr-koffice-i18n-1.4.1

Have you got a idea ? Please help me...

Thanx
