LinuxQuestions.org - Kdialog problem & college network

I am running Kubuntu 10.04 and as part of the registration process for connecting to my college residences network, I have to download and run one of thosese retarded Bradford Dissolvable Agent, it is a bin file and when I execute it I get:

Code:

:~$ sudo sh Bradford_Dissolvable_Agent.bin

Bradford_Dissolvable_Agent.bin: 92: kdalog: not found

Bradford_Dissolvable_Agent.bin :: Unable to read policy

Now you can ignore the fact it says kdalog instead of kdialog, examining the bin file in kate shows it's just a typo.

I'm not entirely sure what to do regarding kdialog, I assume it is installed (it's there in /usr/bin/), does anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot this further, as I am all out of ideas?

Here is the first 100 or so lines of the script if anyone wants to take a look:

Code:

#!/bin/sh



errorMessage() # str title , str message 

{

    title=$1

    message=$2

    if [ -x "`which zenity 2>/dev/null`" ]

    then

        zenity --title "$title" --error --text "$message"

    elif [ -x "`which kdialog 2>/dev/null`" ]

    then

        kdalog --title "$title" --error "$message"

    elif [ -x "`which xmessage 2>/dev/null`" ]

    then

        xmessage -center -buttons "OK" "$message"

    fi

    echo "$title :: $message"

}
