Hello. I tried to configure boost in order to be able to install it. But the configure archive seems to be broken.
bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
The output shows a ^M symbol after /bin/sh. It seems to be an encoding problem. So I tried to delete that line and invoke the script with the shell explicitly:
/bin/bash ./configure --prefix=/usr
But I get this error:
: command not found: : command not found: : command not found2: : command not found7: '/configure: line 29: syntax error near unexpected token `do '/configure: line 29: `do
Any solution, please? Thanks in advance.
If the first line has \r\n problems, the rest of them likely do too. The strange error messages could well be the result of extra carriage returns, lending credence to that theory. Try converting all the line endings: dos2unix ./configure # should do it HTH, ~ Scott
