[SOLVED] line 1: syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Hi,I was working with beagle board and showed line 1: syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") error but the same program worked with x86 platform , the only change I made was cross compiled it for arm cortex a8
help.........

I'm not a coder by profession but if you want help from anyone here you'll probably need to provide more info - maybe even the code that you're trying to run.

I suppose you are running a script. It's possible it was not written for the shell in your beagleboard. You can cross-compile the same shell for beagleboard (as the one used in your x86 platform) and it should run fine.

Thanks for your suggestion,
I cross compiled my code using arm-2009q3 tool chain then I transferred it to beagle board through SD card then also it is showing that error line 1: syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

As cnxsoft suggested it seems as though you're not running the compiled program but a script instead (because the error is a scripting error not a C/CPP run time error)... It may be that the script has the same name as the program and is higher up the directory tree. To make sure you run the compiled program I believe that being in the directory of the program and typing ./programname forces the program "in the current directory" to be run.

Thanks
