Hi all,

Sorry if this has already been asked. I just downloaded and installed Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on my Xubuntu 14.04 following the instructions on the game page. I locate bash script start.sh in /opt/GOG Games/Indiana..., but when I try to run it, I get the following error report:

start.sh: 6: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 7: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 8: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 9: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 12: start.sh: Bad substitution
start.sh: 12: start.sh: declare: not found
start.sh: 18: start.sh: source: not found
start.sh: 35: start.sh: define_option: not found
start.sh: 38: start.sh: standard_options: not found

Reinstalling the game doesn't help. The only thing during the installation that seems out of normal is the following message:
** (zenity:16412): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-oLklu3jvK5: Connection refused

Any thoguhts?

It's a BASH script, not Bourne shell or DASH.

./start.sh or bash start.sh

Huh, didn't realize that there was a difference (I'm quite a Linux n00b).
sh start.sh was the first hit on search query "how to run a bash script", so that was the only thing I tried. Thanks for the help, it works now!

A lot of distros have or had sh linked to BASH, but Ubuntu switched to DASH years ago. There was never any guarantee it would be BASH anyway. Best way to run any script is with ./script as this will launch whichever interpreter is defined, assuming one is defined, in the script. Only time you would need to explicitly call bash script is if the execute permissions are off or the script doesn't specify which shell to use.

Anyway, cheers.

Thanks again for the explanation, I appreciate it!

Cheers!
