not starting shell doesn't make a difference

This is the actual script where I removed the shell:


Code:
 
cd /opt/lib/cobol 
 
./install << EOF 
y 
y 
 
y 
n 
y 
/opt/lib/mflmf 
y 
n 
y 
64 
n 
n 
EOF

It runs and seems to process the first 2 responses correctly. When it reaches the point where it wants a return it seems to get confused.

This is the end of th elist generated:

Code:
 
Do you agree to the terms of the License Agreement? (y/n): 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you press return you will be shown details of the reference 
environment (and any compatibility environments). 
 
Please press return when you are ready: 
y 
n 
y 
/opt/lib/mflmf 
y 
n 
y 
64 
n 
n 
--More--(Next file: docs/env.txt)

It used the y for the question about license. The next line is the blank. It starts to display the env.txt file but it doesn't wait. It lists the remainig responses (for the next questions) and waits. If I cancel it loops on the next question after the return. It appears to be getting a response that it doesn't want.

Code:
 
Please confirm your understanding of the above reference environment 
details (y/n): Please enter y or n 
 
Please confirm your understanding of the above reference environment 
details (y/n): Please enter y or n 
 
Please confirm your understanding of the above reference environment 
details (y/n): Please enter y or n

PG_BUILDEXT(1)						 Debian PostgreSQL infrastructure					    PG_BUILDEXT(1)

NAME
pg_buildext - Build and install a PostgreSQL extension SYNOPSIS
pg_buildext action srcdir target opts DESCRIPTION
pg_buildext is a script that will build a PostgreSQL extension in a VPATH way. It supports the configure, build, install, and clean actions, and will choose to build for the intersection of versions known in debian/pgversions (versions supported by the package) and in /usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions (versions supported in this release). OPTIONS
action One of configure, build, install, or clean. srcdir Where to find the extension sources, including the debian subdirectory. (Usually $(CURDIR).) If not specified, defaults to the current directory. target The target directory where to build the sources, it will get created for you if it does not exist. If the target contains a %v sign, it will get replaced by the specific version of PostgreSQL being built against. (Usually build-%v.) opts %v signs in opts will get replaced as in target. configure Options to pass to the configure script. (Most PostgreSQL extensions do not have a configure script.) build Custom CFLAGS options to use for the build. install Package name to install for. Make will be called with DESTDIR="srcdir/debian/package". clean clean does not take extra options. USAGE
As pg_buildext invokes make for the build, install, and clean actions, invocations from debian/rules (which is a makefile) should be prefixed with + so the sub-makes can talk with the make jobserver. EXAMPLE
build-stamp: +pg_buildext configure $(CURDIR) build-%v "--libdir=/usr/lib/postgresql/%v/lib --datadir=/usr/share/postgresql-%v-plsh" +pg_buildext build $(CURDIR) build-%v install: build +pg_buildext install $(CURDIR) build-%v postgresql-%v-plsh clean: +pg_buildext clean $(CURDIR) build-%v AUTHOR
