[SOLVED]Pacstrap causing error "bad interpreter"

Hi,
I am not "extremely" new to Arch as I've installed Arch on a machine(not mine) a couple of years back. But I don't exactly remember the steps. I used Lubuntu in my machine(HP dm1z) for a long time and I can be considered as a newbie here. So I went through the Installation Guide and started installing. Intro over.
So the problem is when I try to install the base system using pacstrap:
pacstrap /mnt base
it gives me the error
zsh: /usr/bin/pacstrap: bad interpreter: /bin/bash: no such file or directory
The installation media I use is a USB stick and I used Win32DiskImager to burn the image on to it. I tried the iso on vmplayer in my windows machine and was able to install it successfully.
What could be the issue?

I failed to mention it but I was checking the beginner's guide also. There seems to be not much help in the beginner's guide too, if the error I mentioned above occurs. I googled as vast as I can but failed to find a solution.

  • Error: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

    Solved....if you ever executing any file from the $iAS/bin directory and get the "bad interpreter: No such file or directory" then all you do is edit that file in vi or whatever, the look at the first line where it said #!/bin/ksh (in by case, it uses Korn shell I guess to interpret the script, in fact I don't have ksh install) and check to see if you have that particular file in /bin directory. If not, all you do is just make a sym link to /bin/sh under the name of /bin/ksh (assuming you have bash shell installed). The problem will be solved then.
    Hope this help some of you out as it does for me as a newbie in Oracle products. :)

  • /bin/env: bad interpreter [Solved]

    Hi, I have a script that I wrote for backing up important config files, it used to run fine now I get this error message:
    /bin/env: bad interpreter
    The script uses python2.7 the shebang is:

    2.7 is not the default but as you see I am specifying that in the shebang, I retyped the line to make sure there wasn't any weird characters and no help.
    I executed:
    find /usr -type f -name 'python*' -perm -a+x

  • #service fwocfs start  bad interpreter error

    I am trying to autoscan of firewire storage device in RAC configuration but i am getting this error;
    #service fwocfs start
    /sbin/service:/etc/init.d/fwocfs: bad interpreter: No such file or directory.
    Thanks.

    My first guess would be that you downloaded it on Windows and you converted it to a DOS file format by mistake.
    To verify, execute the following command:
    od -c /etc/init.d/fwocfs | head -1
    If it shows character like '\r \n', then it's in DOS format.
    To convert it back to a UNIX text file format, run:
    dos2unix /etc/init.d/fwocfs

  • [Solved]{scheme} Error: (/) bad argument type: # unspecified

    I'm working through Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, and I've run into some behaviour I don't understand.
    The code:
    (define (average x y)
    (/ (+ x y) 2))
    (define (refine r g)
    (print "["r"]["g"]")
    (average (/ r g) g))
    (define (sqrt-guess rad guess)
    (define oldguess guess)
    (define guess (refine rad guess)) # problem line
    (if (= oldguess guess)
    guess
    (sqrt-guess rad guess)))
    It seems that when refine is called in the problem line the second argument is not being 'received' as I would expect.
    #;1> (sqrt-guess 9 1)
    [9][#<unspecified>]
    Error: (/) bad argument type: #<unspecified>
    Call history:
    <syntax> (sqrt-guess 9 1)
    <eval> (sqrt-guess 9 1)
    <eval> [sqrt-guess] (refine r g)
    <eval> [refine] (print "[" r "][" g "]")
    <eval> [refine] (average (/ r g) g)
    <eval> [refine] (/ r g) <--
    I tried (define guess (refine rad oldguess)), same outcome. At this point, I figure it's some consequence of applicative-order processing that I don't understand. But things got more interesting when I added a standalone call to refine:
    (define (sqrt-guess rad guess)
    (define oldguess guess)
    (refine rad oldguess) # new line
    (define guess (refine rad oldguess)) # (define guess (refine rad guess)) also works
    (if (= oldguess guess)
    guess
    (sqrt-guess rad guess)))
    Now the code runs as expected and returns an answer. However, if I change "oldguess" to "guess" in the first refine line:
    (define (sqrt-guess rad guess)
    (define oldguess guess)
    (refine rad guess)
    (define guess (refine rad oldguess)) # (define guess (refine rad guess)) also fails
    (if (= oldguess guess)
    guess
    (sqrt-guess rad guess)))
    the original error re-occurrs. In every case the 'standalone' call to refine gets both arguments as expected; it's the one in "define guess" that has issues.
    I'm not looking for help fixing the code, but for an explanation/breakdown of what's going on. Thanks.

    I believe that redefining 'guess' is confusing the compiler.
    You're right. That was my first thought too, but I swear I tried something like (define foo (refine rad guess)) which didn't work either. I just tried it again and it works just fine.
    I haven't been introduced to let yet, and the way it's parenthesized I don't really understand how it works. I think of let in bash terms (ie. let x++) so maybe that's my problem. Anyway, I'll wait 'till I come across it in the text.
    Using your suggestions I got it to work using only stuff I know:
    (define (sqrt-guess rad guess)
    (define newguess (refine rad guess))
    (if (= newguess guess)
    guess
    (sqrt-guess rad newguess)))
    Definitely cleaner. Thanks!

  • Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data! How do I ge rid of this?

    Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data! I get this error when opening and closing tabs. It only happens when using Firefox. I am running 7.0.1 on a 64 bit version of windows. While researching this problem I discovered thousands of people have the problem. This just started recently. No real fixes or causes have been found. One solution listed was to disable McAfee site adviser which I use and have no plans to remove. I really like Firefox but if I must choose between it and Site adviser I'll have to switch to another browser.

    Please see solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
    for "McAfee Site Advisor".
    (Windows): For best results you should uninstall '''McAfee Site Advisor''' from Control Panel > add/change programs (Programs and Features). Reboot the system. Then Reinstall from http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and reboot the system. When installing refuse other suggested (crapware) applications.
    <br><small>Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.</small>

  • A message will pop up (Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!) and the tab I was on will close out and reopen in a new window. Why is it happening and how do I stop it?

    Okay, I will have a window open with 4 tabs open. At first, everything is fine, but after a day or so, a message will pop up on screen saying "'''Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!'''" and after you close it out, the tab you were on will close and reopen in it's own window. I then have to shut down all both old and new windows and open a new window with my original 4 tabs again. It will work fine until a few days pass and it starts over again.

  • Changes in RPCBURZ0 causes errors in other programs

    Hello to All,
    I made changes to RPCBURZ0 in order to extend the TABLE schema function to read a custom Infotype 9001.
    I added the necessary code in RPCBURZ0 and the data definition in RPCFDCZ0.
    The code is working perfectly , but the changes are causing errors in other country specific reports
    specifically in : HINCALC0 , HCNCALC0 , and HKRCALC0 and Transports to Quality generating errors.
    Error is because the custom infotype definition is not seen in these reports.
    Generation of the users of the transported Includes                                                                                |
    Program HCNCALC0, Include RPCBURZ0: Syntax error in line 000021
    The field 'T9001' is unknown, but there is a fieldwith the similar name 'T001P'. .

    Looking at other H--CALC0 reports i could easily spot an include for RPCFDCZ0.
    include rpcfdcz0.  "customer-specific data declaration (int'l)
    I wonder why this include is not in (HINCALC0 , HCNCALC0 , and HKRCALC0) !!!
    I have two solutions in mind :
    1. Make a custom ZRPCBURZ0 and include it in the main report.
    2. Look for user exist for the three reports and add the data definition statement .
    What is the best way to fix this situation ? and is there any other possible solutions ?
    We are using :
       SAP ECC 6.0

    Message: Not enough elements to match content model  '(prodname,vrmlist,((brand|component|featnum|platform|prognum|series) )*)'
    As stated above, I've even removed everything from the general rule of <prodinfo> except prodname and I'm still getting the same error. I've searched everywhere for this general rule and <prodinfo> is the only place I can find it.
    What I really want is: (prodname), (vrmlist)?, (brand | component | featnum | platform | prognum | series)*
    so that vrmlist is optional.
    No matter what I do, unless I include a vrmlist, I get the above message. Currently, our CMS can't handle vrmlist but I don't want to remove it altogether because we may be replacing our CMS.
