Hi, I'm currently trying to get Linux working on an embedded sparc processor (leon3, sparc V8).
But every time I try to run an instance of bash the following error occurs: sh-3.2# bash bash: command_substitute: cannot duplicate pipe as fd 1: Bad file descriptor (currently I'm using bash as init) This software is used: bash-3.2_p39 gcc-4.2.1 uClibc-0.9.30 linux-2.6.21.1 In my opinion this problem might not be bash related, but I have no idea what goes wrong. Unfortunately gdb seems to rely on some shell functions, so I can't use it. No idea if this is helpfull: here is the end of strace's output: open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) = 3 ioctl(3, TCSETAF or SNDCTL_TMR_SELECT, 0xefc669c4) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) brk(0xcc000) = 0xcc000 read(3, "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\nb"..., 4096) = 704 close(3) = 0 stat64("/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 getpid() = 659 getppid() = 658 ioctl(2, TCSETAF or SNDCTL_TMR_SELECT, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 brk(0xcd000) = 0xcd000 open("/etc/bash/bashrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2550, ...}) = 0 read(3, "# /etc/bash/bashrc\n#\n# This file "..., 2550) = 2550 close(3) = 0 brk(0xce000) = 0xce000 stat64("//.dir_colors", 0xefc665c0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/etc/DIR_COLORS", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=4038, ...}) = 0 pipe([3, 4]) = 3 fork(bash: command_substitute: cannot duplicate pipe as fd 1: Bad file descriptor ) = 660 Thank you for your help. -jan -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/bash%3A-command_substitute%3A-cannot-duplicate-pipe-as-fd-1%3A-Bad-file-descriptor-tp22476700p22476700.html Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
