[sharp-discuss] installation error "during host resources" on Mac OS X 10.5.2

[Eugene Valkov]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently battling with a SHARP/autoSHARP server install on Mac OS  
X 10.5.2 using the downloaded version of the program for Darwin/ 
MacOsX. Basically, everything goes smoothly with a fast install (./ 
installSHARP -F) from a non-root account (although the same happens  
during root installation) until the section 6.1 "server setup" of the  
installation when the process aborts with the following message:


NOTE : We will now generate a basic server setup file. Make
        sure to answer the questions accurately - otherwise
        the interface SUSHI may not work properly.


NOTE : You can re-configure your server by running
        "host-setup".


NOTE : The SHARP / SUSHI server will be set to the machine
        eugene

-n         Continue ? [y]es/[n]o/[e]xit/[s]kip >
y

ERROR : unable to use the "echo -n" wrapper


ERROR : during host resources



Can anybody shed light on this? Or am I better off with linux? ;-)


Thanks in advance,

Eugene
