Line 1 syntax error unexpected word expecting - Исправление ошибок и поиск оптимальных решений проблем

That’s an error reported by the Almquist shell or any of its derivatives like Dash (and Dash happened to be the default implementation of /bin/sh on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)) when a word is found while parsing the syntax of a script where a ) is expected instead, for instance like in this case statement:

dash -c 'case a in b c) :; esac'

dash: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

That’s because after b , the only thing that is expected after is ), (though actually | would also be allowed) so that c word is unexpected.

dash -c 'myfunc( something'

dash: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

One case where that can happen is if the script has been written on or transferred through a Microsoft OS where text line endings are CRLF instead of just LF.

case a in b) cmd1;;
          c) cmd2
esac

script written on MS-DOS would appear as:

case a in b) cmd1;;<CR>
          c) cmd2<CR>
esac<CR>

on Unix and that c would be an extra word after the <CR> word.

Here that’s unlikely as your error reports the problem being on the first line of the script and most scripts start with the #! /path/to/interpreter shebang line.

Another possibility is that that script you’re trying to run has been written on the assumption that sh was bash and uses constructs that are not portable to other sh implementations.

Since you’re using an outdated and no longer maintained OS, it’s also possible that you’re running into a bug in that version of Dash. You could run dpkg-reconfigure dash and tell the system not to use Dash for sh (but Bash instead) to see if that helps.

Again, it is unlikely to be on the first line.

What sounds more likely is that that qmake file is not a script, but a binary executable that is not recognised as such by the system, for instance because it is of a binary format for the wrong architecture or it has been corrupted in transfer.

In that case, when the system fails to recognise it as a native executable, the invoking application would try to run sh on it as if it was a shell script, and the presence of a ( character in the file could cause Dash to fail with such an error.

On my system:

dash /bin/touch

/bin/touch: 1: /bin/touch: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

And if you look at the content of /bin/touch as if it were a script, you see:

^?ELF^B^A^A^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^B^@>^@^A^@^@^@5&@^@^@^@^@^@@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@(ô^@^@...

I have a bash script:

#!/bin/bash

VAR1="var1"
VAR2="var2"
VAR3="var3"

cat ${VAR1} 
    <(echo -e '<something>')                        # <--------- here's the error
    ${VAR2}/file123.txt 
    <(echo -e '</something>n<something2>') 
    ${VAR3}/file456.txt 
    <(echo -e '</something2>')

When I run it: sh my_script.sh, I get the error:

 my_script.sh: 9: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting word)

update:

bash isn’t found, «/bin/bash» doesn’t exist. neither bash does.

Try :

chmod 755 "my_script.sh"

Then run it simply like this

my_script.sh

The #!/bin/bash line at the beginning is used to tell your system which shell you should run the script with. I think you are overiding this by executing it with sh my_script.sh. You could also explicitly write /bin/bash my_script.sh. Also if you have some bash specific syntax in your script, you should consider changing the extension to .bash to be more explicit.

EDIT

You don’t seem to have bash on your FreeBSD distro (the default shell on FreeBSD appears to be tcsh). You can find here a tutorial to install bash on FreeBSD. The solution I provided should then work properly. Best of luck.

Obviously from the she-bang, that script is intended to be run by bash not sh (even though the syntax looks more like zsh syntax because of the unquoted variables).

You’ll want to run it with bash or zsh. If those shells are not available, you can install them or alternatively, translate that script to sh syntax which should be straightforward here.

The sh language (both Bourne or POSIX) has no <(...) operator. That comes from ksh and is supported by bash and zsh as well. echo -e is non-standard and even with bash and ksh only works in some environments.

The standard sh equivalent would be:

var1="var1"
var2="var2"
var3="var3"

cat < "$var1" || exit
printf '<something>n' || exit
cat < "$var2/file123.txt" || exit
printf '</something>n<something2>n' || exit
cat < "$var3//file456.txt" || exit
print '</something2>n'

The problem is with the script: though it claims in its own documentation that it can be run by sh, i.e. by any standard POSIX shell, it actually requires bash.

The construct (( $? )) is not valid POSIX sh, nor is ($ans != "yes") when $ans is empty. They are hardly valid in bash either (TBH, this is the first time in 20yrs I see the idiom (( $? ))) but apparently bash lets it pass.

Solution: run using bash: bash Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

The sh command that you’re giving assumes that the .sh file is in your home directory. It may be located elsewhere, in which case you have to give it a pathname to where the file is located.

Example: if the file Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh is located on your Desktop, you can:

cd ~/Desktop
bash Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

bash ~/Desktop/Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

If that doesn’t solve your problem, please edit your question to include the output of:

cat Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh | head -n 76

I used bash instead of sh, and the script ran just fine!
it seems sh was not meant to be used with this one!

line 1: syntax error: unexpected «(»

Hi there!
I’m trying to run the server on an RT-N16 router with tomato firmware on it.
It runs busybox, and i think it has the resources to run a small ts3 server on it, but when i try to start it, i get this message:
./ts3server_linux_x86: line 1: syntax error: unexpected «(«
Can anyone tell me ALL the needed packages to run the server, or help me anyway?
Thanks in advance
June 19th, 2010, 02:26 PM

/bin/sh links to a shell thats not compatible I would guess. Do you have a bash installed? But I would suspect that you cannot run the binary on your router, because I think it doesn’t have a x86er architecture…
June 19th, 2010, 02:44 PM

#3

I have bash installed, i can run sh scripts normally, so that’s not the problem.
About the architecture: yeah, maybe that’s the problem. I don’t know.
Here’s a link for the firmware if that helps:
http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/sh…ad.php?t=63587

The only thing i know is that i installed mc and things like that with ipkg-opt, and they work great. (ofc i have samba, ftp and web servers too)
I think they were compiled specially for the router, but i can’t compile ts3 if i don’t have the source, and even if i had i’d have to rewrite some things, am i right?

Exactly. And I don’t think that there will be ARM or MIPS versions during beta…

New install — Syntax error unexpected «(»
HI,

im installing ts3 on Ubuntu 10 for the first time, i following this guide

I used the RC1 x86 linux version (im assuming thats the most recent).

All went to plan until i went to start the server at the end, and this is what i got
Code:

[email protected]:~$ /etc/init.d/teamspeak start [sudo] password for me: Starting the TeamSpeak 3 server TeamSpeak 3 server started, for details please view the log file [email protected]:~$ ./ts3server_linux_x86: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
i google this for hours and found nothing that could help, also there is no ‘logs’ directory created so no log file either.

can anyone advise what else i could try?

Encountering Same issue

I’m running Ubuntu Server 10.10 64-bit.

Fresh install using the above guide. Except pulling the latest file from your cache servers.

I’ve tried starting it from the start script and get that error. I also get if if I try:

sudo -u teamspeak ./ts3server_startscript.sh start

or

sudo -u teamspeak ./ts3server_startscript.sh restart

I have also tried to run the EXE directly from the ts3 install directory:

sudo -u teamspeak ./ts3server_linux_amd start

All 3 attempts end ifn the same results.

Don’t know what else to try. I’m going to go to bed now and hope for an answer by morning.
