[gentoo-user] Running Scripts

[gentoo-user] Running Scripts

[Greg Lindstrom]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 684 bytes --]

Hello-

I am programming Python (2.4.1) scripts to run on our Gentoo boxes and am
having a bit of trouble I was hoping you could help me with.  My file,
hello.py looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/python
print 'hello, python'

I add execute permission to the file and try to run it as follows:

myprompt $ ./hello.py

and get

-bash: ./hello.py: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: Permission denied

running /usr/bin/python brings up the python shell, so that's in place.

What am I missing to run these files (they run fine with I type in 'python'
before the filename).  BTW, I have the same issue running Perl scripts which
is why I'm asking the question here.

Thanks for your help,

--greg

is is possible that you saved the text file in DOS format, with CR-LF 
endings instead of LF only?

If "od -t x2 hello.py" shows 0a0d sequences, this is the case. You could 
use dos2unix to convert.

Just guessing, but I sometimes got similar errors in such cases.

So the symlink from /usr/bin/python to the real binary is correct and the real 
binary has the right permissions.

If your line starting with "#!/" weren't the first line in your script, you 
would get a different error message. Same if the "#" weren't the first 
character in that line.

This leads to the question whether you can start *any* executable from your 
home directory (assuming you stored your script somewhere under your home 
directory). If not so, do you mount your /home partition with the "noexec" 
option?

I'm not sure what you are asking here.

$ ls -l /usr/bin/env
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 18  2006 /usr/bin/env -> /bin/env

$ ls -l /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 18  2006 /usr/bin/python -> python2.4

I have the same problem with  Perl scripts; I haven't tried any others.  Is
there a way to tell how the partition is mounted?  I'm sorry to say that I
am a lowly user on the system and don't really know much about how it is set
up.

Thank-you so much for your attention.  This is a small problem, as I can run
the scripts with python (or perl) then the filename.  I'd just like to
understand what's happening.

Post the content of your /etc/fstab.  You should be able to do that as a 
normal user.

Kinda funny: Writing this while listening to Queen's "Another One Bites The

Nope.  I am denied access to /etc/fstab.  Could this be (part of) the

try a plain old bash script and see if that works, and try this and
see if it works:

cat >> testrun.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, int* argv)
{
  printf("helloworld");
}
( press ctrl+d here )

make testrun

./testrun

if that fails to do ./testrun, then i figgure the FS your on isn't
execable. sorry. ^^

<Sigh>.  Thanks for all of your help, guys.  It looks like I'm not set up to
execute sctripts in this manner.  I'll continue to put "python" or "perl" in
front of them

Thanks again,

Hm... sems my idea about /home being mounted with "noexec" doesn't hold.

I am out of ideas - and still a bit puzzled how /usr/bin/env got involved (see 
original post).

According to the od output, the first line is not "#!/usr/bin/python", 
but "#!/usr/bin/env python". But that seems to work well for me, too.

I'd try to put the script onto several file systems and try out what 
happens there. emerge starts with "#!/usr/bin/python -O", and I guess 
this is still working.

As another alternative, you could try re-emerging the coreutils package. Also, check your $PATH. It
should include /bin and /usr/bin quite at the beginning.

Without writing a Makefile, make won't build the program. ;-)

You better try this:

gcc -o testrun testrun.c

funny, it did for me :P

just make testrun does "ok,.. testrun = target, what makes testrun?..
*looks around* ah... heres a testrun.c, that aught to do it :D .... "


$ls -l testrun.c Makefile

That cool, but don't count on it to work on all makes.

I'm fairly sure an empty Makefile is valid, since there already suffix 
rules required by the standard -- there's just no default target.  I guess 
GNU make takes that to the logical conclusion and lets you run entirely 
without a Makefile as long as you specify a target.

Actually, yes.

If you have a file called something.c you can simply run:

"make something" and it will compile something.c, link something.o and produce a binary named something.

This looks suspicious to me.  /usr/bin/python is a symlink to
python2.4.  

Where is python2.4?  Is it on your path?  

Can you run it with command "python2.4" ???

What do the following commands report:

   which python
   which python2.4

HTH.

Nothing suspicious here. /usr/bin/python is a symlink to /usr/bin/puthon2.4 - 
at least on a gentoo system. And while python2.4 *is* in the path 
(because /usr/bin is), it doesn't really matter as long as /usr/bin/python 
is.

Did you manage to run such scripts located in other directories? I think 
you need support in the kernel for such scripts. Do you see

CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=y

in /proc/config.gz?

This error:

bash: ./hello.py: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Means exactly that "/usr/bin/env is not a balid interpreter, because you don't have permission to
execute it".

Gives us the output of the "id" command, and ls -l /usr/bin/env, of course, run the "id" command
from the user you were logged in when trying the hello.py script.

eh? kernel doesn't control fs permissions for binaries.

If he can emerge --help  without a problem, then its not an execution
problem, its just a permission problem. I simply figgure hes not
privelaged to run executables on filesystems hes got write access to (
a logical idea for a shared system trying to prevent exploitation )
