    Thanks wildman but I am going to wait until jtarin comes back before I do anything.

    You can remove the /bin/sh and create a new link using:
    rm /bin/sh (or if you want to be safe: mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.dash)
    ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh"
    There are several solutions to this – you can modify the scripts that fail such that they use bash (change #! /bin/sh to #! /bin/bash), or more simply you can change the symbolic link sh, found in the /bin directory, to point to /bin/bash.
    Like this on the autorun.sh file....open in gedit and edit the very first line.

    I am able to compile and create the make file in the src directory. It is the permission errors that stop me from initializing autorun. I believe that is the last step.

    Re: error message: mv: cannot stat

    OK I compiled it and ran it with no problems.....if you will follow the attached instructions.I didn't change any scripts....I only followed instructions. Pay attention to changing directories. Use the command "ls" to list all files in the directory. You can copy a command from the text and paste it in the terminal. I did al of this in my /home/username/downloads/tbamud-3.62 folder. No problem with permissions. It made the syslog in the same folder automatically when I ran ./autorun.sh.

    Should I go ahead and try to run autorun again once I do this or is there another step?

    Read my last message #15. Ignore changing the script...not needed. Just read the document and my instructions in that message.. It's very easy.

    I'm going to recommend you compile again from the beginning following the instructions in Doc I sent, but first make a folder in your home directory and name it tbamud.Check your folder permissions on this folder before beginning. Now move tbamud-3.62.tgz into this folder. Delete your old tbamud-3.62 folder then go back to the tbamud folder you just made and right-click on tbamud-3.62.tgz and extract it.Now follow the document instuctions.You have to understand that autorun.sh creates the syslog. Read those instructions twice if need be. It works.

    I have read these instructions in this format and on the TBAmud page dozens of times. I have tried all these steps with Linux Mint, FreeBSD and Ubuntu. Always get the same errors.


    Oh ha ha ha, just found something new. I didn't understand that after I read the license I was supposed to type Q to accept. I would always type it instead of trying to read it since I had read it 20 times. It is doing something new.
    Let me see if this works.
