Hi everybody,
today I stepped by chance in this minor cold case, but I think the solution still belongs here.
The scripts for Fluka install use the awk command line tools.
The problem lays on version the "awk" command line tools; Ubuntu by default installs one which comes directly from the far far '96.
All the modern Linux distributions place the "gawk" instead of the original one, which of course evolved in time.
The old one misses an option in the string parsing which is used by the installer.
A sudo apt-get install gawk will fix the problem on all Ubuntu.
Best,
V

Subject: Re: Problems in fluka scripts with Ubuntu 12.04
Hi all
I have successfully installed the last version of FLUKA (32 bit) on
LUBUNTU 64 bit( a frugal version of UBUNTU 12.10 ) using the g77.
UBUNTU 12.XX versions move from bash to dash shell causing some problem
to various installation scripts. In order to maintain the full
compatibility with the past version of UBUNTU and with other
distributions I made the following change (As root user):
mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.orig
ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
Hope it helps in your case.
Ciao
