Command not found???


I've recently switched from Slackware 12.0 to Kubuntu. Im very pleased with the switch and cant realy complain. I was able to install the Linux native version of UnrealTournament.iso, i mounted it, and installed. It even told me the install was completed sucsesfuly. Told me that typeing "ut" in the terminal would open up the game. but when i type in "ut" it tells me the command is not found? can anyone offer any advice?

Yes?

It found exactly what you asked for. Any file/directory named "ut"


To run it:
/home/sheep/ut/ut


Cheers,
Tink

It's saying there's a syntax error on line 29 of /home/sheep/ut/ut. Can you post the content of the script please?

Also, you can modify the first line of the script to run it in debug mode. For example, if it's bash:
Code:
#!/bin/bash -x
or
#!/bin/sh -x
