anatolia startup issue

I installed anatolia on my cygwin (I can not install it on my mud host), then I copied over all the files, then did a make and then ./startup & ( I renamed the ctl_anatolia.sh.in the startup script in bin to startup) and I keep getting

[1] 6147
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[1]+ Exit 126 ./startup

I have used whereis and found sh,tcsh,bash to be installed I get the same error when using each of them except with tcsh I get : bad interpreter: No such file or directory/bin/tcsh

any help is greatly appreciated, the mud is running on a free host using gentoo linux

I thought you said it was running on Cygwin...?


Anyhow, check the first line of your startup script. It likely points to a different path for the interpreter.

No, I said I installed in on cygwin, then moved it ... as my free mud host does not allow me to use ./configure ... and I did not feel like makeing a make file for it. The path for the sh intrepter is correct on the startup script

here is a copy of the startup script

You probably renamed the wrong file. A file with .in is generally used by the configure script to generate the final file.

Also, make sure you don't have an empty line at the top of the file by accident. The fact that it's not even starting due to not having an interpreter is pretty weird and is a probable sign that it's not finding the #! line.

*** Edited ***
I just messed up the config is all, I forgot to set it up for my free mud host

Glad to hear you fixed your problem... what was it?
