OK,
you need to defer the expansion of the ranOK variable.
Change the code like this:

Code:
exec /bin/sh -c "trap '' 1
  ( set -x
  $LaunchPadBrowser -nosplash -safe-mode -P $LaunchPadProfileName -profile $userprefpath $LaunchPadURL )
  if [ -f $userprefpath/history.dat ]; then
    ranOK=Yes
  else
    ranOK=No
  fi
  \cd ..
  rm -rf $TMPDIR
  if [ \$ranOK = No ]; then
    $installsourcepath/NoBrowser.sh
    exit 2
  fi"

NAME
PDL::Ops - Fundamental mathematical operators DESCRIPTION
This module provides the functions used by PDL to overload the basic mathematical operators ("+ - / *" etc.) and functions ("sin sqrt" etc.) It also includes the function "log10", which should be a perl function so that we can overload it! SYNOPSIS
none FUNCTIONS
plus Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) add two piddles $c = plus $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a + $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->plus($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syntax. This function is used to overload the binary "+" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases. mult Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) multiply two piddles $c = mult $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a * $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->mult($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syntax. This function is used to overload the binary "*" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases. minus Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) subtract two piddles $c = minus $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a - $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->minus($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syntax. This function is used to overload the binary "-" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases. divide Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) divide two piddles $c = divide $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a / $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->divide($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syntax. This function is used to overload the binary "/" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases. gt Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) the binary > (greater than) operation $c = gt $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a > $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->gt($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syntax. This function is used to overload the binary ">" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example).

This function is used to overload the binary "<" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases. le Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) the binary <= (less equal) operation $c = le $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a <= $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->le($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syntax. This function is used to overload the binary "<=" operator. Note that when calling this function explicitly you need to supply a third argument that should generally be zero (see first example). This restriction is expected to go away in future releases. ge Signature: (a(); b(); [o]c(); int swap) the binary >= (greater equal) operation $c = ge $a, $b, 0; # explicit call with trailing 0 $c = $a >= $b; # overloaded call $a->inplace->ge($b,0); # modify $a inplace It can be made to work inplace with the "$a->inplace" syntax.
