what happens if you leave off the DL= i.e. ( one line ) $(readelf -l /bin/sh | sed -n 's@.*interpret.*/tools\(.*\)]$@\1@p') same kind of error? how about (two lines) set -vx $(readelf -l /bin/sh | sed -n 's@.*interpret.*/tools\(.*\)]$@\1@p') # use set +vx to undo those noisy flags You could also try using ` <commands> ` instead of $( <commands> ) ( not a single quote ' but the `, might be to the left of 1 ) i.e. ` readelf -l /bin/sh | sed -n 's@.*interpret.*/tools\(.*\)]$@\1@p' ` hopefully the set -vx will shed some light on it -- Firerat Talented, Witty And Thoughtful .. is how most describe me. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
