Topic: os x: "/bin/bash" (Read 2361 times)

i'm running 10.1.5, i downloaded and installed the self-contained launcher/app/package/whatever (i'm no os x or unix geek myself) and the additional content. clicking "Launch!" gives me an error box which simply says /bin/bash: not found. i googled around a little and got a vague idea of what this sort of message means, which is to say it's something that i have absolutely no clue how to fix. can it be fixed? just the fact that i have a pre-10.2 version alone seems to disqualify me from so many things offhand that i wouldn't be surprised if it couldn't.

I've got "fixed" versions of the game and the launcher here:

Fetch the Updated Launcher and the 0.31 update. Â Installation instructions are contained within; you are well-advised to read them.

OS X doesnt have a version of bash in /bin? Wow, that's surprising. I suppose it never puts /bin and /usr on seperate partitions..
If you ever see this problem again, you can type this:
which bash
if that doesn't give you the location of bash, type:
find / -name bash -print
and wait a long while. If there's no bash, switch "bash" to "sh" in the above two commands. once you get a positive response you can type
ln -s <full_bash_or_sh_path> /bin/bash
example:
which bash
might return: /usr/local/bin/bash
then you type
ln -s /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash

OSX 10.1 doesn't have bash at all, but newer versions do; I forgot this little fun fact when I put the OSX Launcher together, I have since fixed it to use /bin/sh, hence the link.
If you really need bash, get it from Fink, or upgrade to Jaguar/Panther, don't symlink the Bourne shell to it. Doing that will just cause things to break that otherwise wouldn't.

OK, I put the .jar file in the correct folder. Now I click Launch and nothing happens, no app's icon bounces in the Dock. I tried installing Fink and the package installer said it required 10.2 (surprise!). I didn't install the 0.31 update because I don't have CVS - I think... how can I check? I installed some "tools" package from an Apple site recently, it might have been that but they changed everything around and I haven't kept up with Apple much anymore so I don't know. But I still use a Mac. Am I stuck or what?

Everything's fine, but you really need to install the 0.31 update -- 0.3 does not work with OSX 10.1.
As for CVS, don't worry about it, it's not a requirement, it's just telling people where I obtained my source code.
Download/install the 0.31 update and everything should start working. If it doesn't, let me know.

Ah, it seems to be working now. The path in the readme is incorrect tho, it should be Contents:MacOS.

Yikes. That's been wrong for a while, then. Fixed, and thanks for pointing it out.
