glowballgds:/download/downloads/install_flash_player_7_linux # ./flashplayer-installer
bash: ./flashplayer-installer: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
glowballgds:/download/downloads/install_flash_player_7_linux #

glowballgds:/download/zsnes/ZSNESS_1112 # ./configure

Try this

su
ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

The script is requesting an interpreter, /bin/sh, an old shell. We are linking the old shell to a new shell (bash)

Permission denied

You need to make it executable before (chmod +x flashplayer-installer) but if the files came from a tarball (tar.gz , tar.bz2) you shouldn't need to set permissions before.

ok i tried that and its telling me that the link allready exist. and im still getting the error.

glowball@glowballgds:/download/zsnes/zsnes_1_42/src> ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
ln: creating symbolic link `/bin/sh' to `/bin/bash': File exists
glowball@glowballgds:/download/zsnes/zsnes_1_42/src> ./configure
bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
glowball@glowballgds:/download/zsnes/zsnes_1_42/src>

Are you root ?

[ssjwizard]

yes all commands were given as root VIA SU and then password.

ok so i tried going into yast and doing a force update on BASH and its still having trouble, i attempted to take it completly out and put it back in but its a dependancy of far to many packages for me to have to manualy reinstall them and using the ignore dependancy didnt work so i dont know what to do next.
