Eisenmann) Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 11:03:37 -0500 Organization: UMBC - Biological Sciences Lines: 20 NNTP-Posting-Host: macbio471-2.biosci.umbc.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Newsreader: Yet Another NewsWatcher 2.4.0 Hello, I am a C. elegans researcher, and I recently got Linux (mklinux) up and running on my PowerMac 8600/300 because I didn't want to have to continue to rely on the generous kindness of strangers to port Acedb 4.5 to the Mac someday. Linux runs fine, I got everything for a new Acedb installation, but I get the following message after typing "source INSTALL". bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'switch ("$<")' bash: ./INSTALL: line 48: 'switch("$<")' Can some kind soul who may understand this let me know what it means and how to get around it so I can install acedb 4.5? Thanks very much. Dave Eisenmann UMBC - Biological Sciences 1000 Hilltop Circle Baltimore, MD 21250 eisenman@umbc.edu (410)455-2256 .
