It looks like the invoking shell is not very smart. If I try to run with dash ./messages.sh I get the same bad result you did, but if I run it with perl perl ./messages.sh it works fine, even though the script isn't even perl. (I tried using the perl command to invoke some Python scripts too, and that also worked. Perl is smart.) Python doesn't know what to do with the #! either. (What is that #! called again? It has a weird, special name, and I can't think of it.) If I try running these with the python command, it fails spectacularly. (No great shock.) Anyway, it looks like dash is a stupid shell, but if you're running a smarter shell, eg. bash, and you simply cd po ./messages.sh then everything works beautifully with minimal effort. I have /bin/sh -> /bin/dash on this system (blah) and running it straight up with no specified interpreter just ran to completion with no errors. So there again, the bottom line recommended formula is: svn update cd po/ ./messages.sh kbabel [your_language_code].po cd .. sudo make install rosegarden -- D.
