But installing exist db 1.1.1 I am getting error:

=========================================================
mac@reed:/home/perfsonar$
sudo rpm -i --nodeps --force
perfsonar-exist-1.1.1-1.i386.rpm
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10624: 7: Syntax error: Bad substitution
=========================================================

Have anyone had the same problem or there is something specific to my
machine?

Just a guess, but I have had issues like this when /bin/sh is really
just a sym link to something else such as bash. There may a command
that sh should be able to interpret but the substitute shell handles
differently.

Hi Jason

Thanks. I thought about it and checked. "sh" is, indeed, the symlink, but to "dash" which seems to be right shell.

In fact, there is no shell at the beginning of the script, so I don't know which one is appropriate.
