[Pw_forum] Running examples in espresso-4.0

[kuilin lu]

Dear Grant and all who has the same problem:
Do you mean the "bug" is the following? please note the round bracket
after "function check_failure"

//This is the check_failure.sh file in veriosn 4.0
------------------
function check_failure() {
   # usage: check_failure $?
   if test $1 != 0; then
       $ECHO "Error condition encountered during test: exit status = $1"
       $ECHO "Aborting"
       exit 1
   fi
}
------------------
// and I modified this to the following to make it running under AIX
5.2, note I deleted the round bracket after "function check_failure".
------------------
# function to test the exit status of a job
function check_failure {
   # usage: check_failure $?
   if test $1 != 0; then
       $ECHO "Error condition encountered during test: exit status = $1"
       $ECHO "Aborting"
       exit 1
   fi
}
------------------
It seems to me that some *uix distribution didn't realize some
function in sh script, so if you meet the problem, please try this
"dirty" solution if you like.
Hope it save someone's time ;-)
Best Wishes
Kuilin Lu
