Hello, >Shouldn't this be: >$ makeself.sh -h ?
Yes. The correct way to invoke makeself is calling `makeself.sh'. /usr/bin/makeself-header.sh /usr/bin/makeself.sh >Why are we using the '.sh' extension with 'makeself', again? Upstream sources keep the extension, other distros strip it, i.e. Debian It looks like there is not a strict policy defined, anyway: $ ls /usr/bin | egrep "\.(pl|py|sh|rb)" | wc -l 161 Regards. 2010/4/28, Lee D.
