Hello everyone, Thanks for your replies. So now I have this CD of development tools that are supposed to work with my board and BASH is among them. I have tried to install it using the rpm command in the BusyBox v1.2.1 and this is what I get: /home/carmen # ./busybox rpm -i bash-ppc_4xx-3.0-31_1.ppc.rpm  rpm: Cannot create symlink from ./bin/sh to 'bash': File exists 10206 blocks rpm: unknown group name: root After this I checked the /bin directory and now there is a file called "bash"  in the directory, which when I try to run it, gives me this error: /bin # bash bash: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I could fix it? I apologize if I am asking some obvious questions.I am no Linux expert... thank you, Carmen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rob Landley <<a href="mailto:rob@landley.net">rob@landley.net</a>> To: <a href="mailto:busybox@busybox.net">busybox@busybox.net</a> Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2006 16:50:45 -0500 Subject: Re: BASH issue On Monday 06 November 2006 6:27 pm, Paul Fox wrote: >  > >  > Hi everyone, >  > >  > So I am trying to build a JVM on a PPC 405EP board using BusyBox v 1.2.1 . >  > The config files for this JVM use bash and from what I have seen on search >  > results , BusyBox does not have Bash.However, I read somewhere that there is >  > a shell called BBSH that would be a smaller version of BASH.

No, it isn't.  I'm doing a new shell for toybox, but I'm not working on the version in busybox anymore after Bruce took all the fun out of it.  I'd recommend just removing the one in busybox; it's fairly useless and I'm not adding to it.
