Re: FLUKA error in Ubuntu

Dear Ariel,

I was running FLUKA now on Ubuntu 8.04 and got the output below. I
think I understand what happens: The "-e" comes from the use of the
"echo -e" used in the rfluka script which is surprisingly
misinterpreted on bash in Ubuntu. You can ignore that problem.
The other problem "unexpected character" is because bash does not know
how to handle comparisons by using the == sign. If I understand the
problem correctly it effects you only if you want to interrupt a run
before the total number of primary particles is reached.
However, in the test case I was running, apart for the messages
printed on the screen I could not find any error in the output files.

In the output you send the -e is missing. Do you get the -e also in
your original output.
Do you also get the "========" around "Running FLUKA for cycle # 1" ?
Do you observe any errors in the output files?
Could you ever run FLUKA on Ubuntu without getting this messages?

Cheers, Florian

Here is the output of my run:
