That syntax is a bashism, not /bin/sh. -bash-2.05b$ sh ./setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg --prefix=~ ./setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg: [[: not found ./setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg is not the correct name for this egg file. Please rename it back to setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg and try again. This is broken for Solaris (which doesn't have bash, by default), on recent Ubuntu (which has /bin/dash as /bin/sh, not bash) and any other Unix that doesn't have bash as /bin/sh. -- Anthony Baxter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's never too late to have a happy childhood. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
