I have Mandrake 10.0

The following command doesn't work

[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 heden]$ ksh
bash: ksh: command not found

How can I fix this problem. I beg help from the experts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

But the csh command worked.
[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 heden]$ csh
[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 ~]$


Even the sh command worked.

[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 heden]$ sh
sh-2.05b$

Quite simple, really.

'ksh' is trying to invoke a 'korn shell'. It apparently isn't installed on your system. csh (different shell - c shell) is installed in your system, so it works.

You probably need to install pdksh - Public Domain Korn Shell. Use to see what shells you have installed.

The following is the output.

[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 heden]$ cat /etc/shells
/bin/bash
/bin/csh
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh


What shall I do next? Please help me.

Install the korn shell..

Or get the source off your Mandrake cd, I'm sure its included, just might not be installed by default.

I would look at it in CDs first. Then copy it on to the root. I will come back again if it is necessary.

I think I must look for a package called ' pdksh '. Please tell me if I am wrong.

Yes, you need to look for a package called pdksh on your CD's. Take a look at this link to learn how to manage packages in Mandrake - http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/Mandrak...anagement.html

Just noticed you are from Germany. Here is the same link written in Deutsch -
http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/Mandrak...anagement.html

Either that or ksh93 I believe is what it will be called.

I didn't find the either ksh or pdksh file in my CDs. This is strange. It doesn't matter. I downloaded it.Now it lies in my home directory. I must copy it on to the root.

The following is my home or rather console:

[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 heden]$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 heden]$ ls

pdksh-5.2.14.tar.gz

The ls command shows that it is in my home folder. I want your help to copy it onto the root.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following command didn't work.

cp pdksh-5.2.14.tar.gz ./

What is the correct copy command to copy the downloaded 'pdksh-5.2.14.tar.gz ' to the root?
Please help me.
------------------------------------------------------------
The following is my root.
[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 /]$


[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 /]$ ls -a

pdksh-5.2.14.tar.gz is a compressed tar file containing source code for pdksh. In order to install this you would need to untar the file, configure, compile, and install. I would suggest you wait until you get more familiar with Linux before attempting a source code install.

I would recommend that you learn about package management and locate the binary package for pdksh using Rpmdrake. This will install the ksh shell with a minimum amount of effort. It will also teach you the basics about adding other packages to your system. The majority of my experience is with Red Hat and Fedora distributions. I only know what I have read about Mandrake. Rpmdrake is a graphical front-end for their urpmi tool. If you want to install pdksh from the command line it could be as simple as typing urpmi pdksh. Take a look at the website address I gave you for more info. You can also use man urpmi to find out more.

Thanks for the reply. I look at the Mandrake Control Center 10. I found a lot of files there. This one is not there. So please help me.

I have already used tar files and untarred them. So it is not a tall order for me.

The help I want is to copy the file I downloaded to the root. What is the correct command?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 heden]$ ls

pdksh-5.2.14.tar.gz

The ls command shows that it is in my home folder. I want your help to copy it onto the root.

tar.gz files are source files to be compiled to install..

Untar it, view the README or INSTALL files to get better details on the steps to install.

The most basic install steps are:

tar xzvf <filename.tar.gz>
cd new-directory-named-filename
./configure
make
su -
make install
exit

I had some time and installed Mandrake 10.1 to see how rpmdrake/urpmi work. Also learned that pdksh along with some other packages are not included with the 3 isos (install CDs) that are available for download. However, the contents of a 4th CD is available from a number of ftp sites. So you will be able to get pdksh from one of those sites.

In order to get rpmdrake and urpmi working you need to configure them to point to a nearby ftp server. This will allow you to retrieve other software packages and updates relatively easy. There is a nifty web page that someone setup to help. Go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ and follow the step by step procedure. Once completed you can go to rpmdrake and search for the pdksh package and install it.

I would recommend setting this up because it will save you a lot of time when working with packages. It will also allow you to automate the process of updating your system with the latest packages. Lastly, if you want to install pdksh quickly you can download pdksh-5.2.14-16mdk.i586.rpm from rpmfind.net and use rpm to install. I'm assuming you have an i586 architecture. The command for that would be:Bill

Thanks, wmakowski.

I will follow your instructions. I will come to the forum when necessary. It will take 2 or 3 days as I am busy with an examination.

The following site you mentioned is a tall order for me.
http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

I don't know how to work such strange sites. My knowledge is not enough to work with such things.

I did it in the following way.

I created a directory called rubbish2001 and put the file inside the directory.
[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 heden]$ mkdir rubbish2001
[heden@h27n2fls301o1037 heden]$ cp 'pdksh-5.2.14.tar.gz' rubbish2001
[nissanka@h27n2fls301o1037 nissanka]$ cd rubbish2001



Afterward I expanded the tarball. Please read the following:
