cd "$packgeDir"

seems you need run the script by bash, then run the script by absolute path of install.sh

such as:

Code:
bash /abc/efg/hij/install.sh

Third, you can change your script to

Code:
packgeDir=`dirname $0`
currDir=$PWD

cd $packgeDir


I tried using
Code:
packgeDir=`dirname $0'

in the script as you suggested.. and still get the same errors...

I also tried running with the entire path:

Code:
sh /abc/efg/install.sh

but no luck with that either...

I tried using the correct shebang as you suggested:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

but got no success with that.

Even if i pretend to make some changes in the file.... like for example opening install.sh, then putting a space somewhere in the file, then deleting that space, and saving that file,.... then it works when I type the command:

Code:
sh install.sh


It is only when I am trying to run it directly after unzipping it from the jar file, that I am not able to run it successfully.

So, is it corrupting it while unzipping it, or maybe not recognizing the file is in the directory, until I pretend to move or change it?... not sure.
