/scripts: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

[gregga]

several perl scripts in the scripts directory that generate various graphs are giving me the following error when I run them manually:

: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

A specific example is loadavg.pl.

Installed on RH 8.0. Perl & bash are both in /usr/bin, as the script is calling. awk is in the system path under /usr/share as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

look if you got strace installed

then if so do

strace perl scriptname and look

that should give you some more information on where the problem is

strace is the answer !!!
do an

updatedb

then

locate ld.so.preload (or just ld.so)

look if you got everythinfg installed. seems as if you are missing quite a lot files... or, they are readonly (O_RDONLY)

check permissions and if all the files are there.
if the files are there (check permissions) and check if you
got everything installled (like mysql is enabled in php.ini)

and ENOENT seems to mean

NO ENTRY
so possibly missing some files or settings

go step by step and repair everything..then allways do an strace again and look where it stops
