I have a problem with the installer for 4.0.2. I have seen this on earlier releases as well.
I am running it on a Gentoo linux system. Kernel is 2.6.9, glibc is 2.3.5 and sh is bash 3.00.16. The problem is not fatal and just causes the diskspace check to fail. The initial output from running it with LAX_DEBUG set follows. Line 327 in the script has an unprotected variable used with test -z which is a bad idea since it causes a shell syntax error if the variable is not set, the variable should be in quotes! The line 327:
> if [ ! \( -z $AVAIL_SPACE -o -z $NEEDED_SPACE \) ]; then
should be:
> if [ ! \( -z “$AVAIL_SPACE” -o -z “$NEEDED_SPACE” \) ]; thenThe real problem seems to be the usage of df and tail in calculating the disk space. Not sure what is going wrong there, the variable AVAIL_SPACE is ending up empty.
