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.

- make sure you download the tar file and not the zip file - change the first line of the script from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash see if that helps. Lothar
