i'm guessing you're using ubuntu and thus dash is your /bin/sh ... shouldnt be a 2.6.24 issue > make[4]: Entering directory > `/root/ltp-full-20071231/testcases/network/tcp_cmds/ftp' > ../../generate.sh > ../../generate.sh: 60: arith: syntax error: "cnt=cnt-1" sadly, this is becoming a FAQ. ubuntu ships a broken /bin/sh (dash) and thus some LTP scripts fall apart. i would prefer to not change the scripts as the message is simple in LTP: fix your shell, dont add hacks to LTP. otherwise we slowly back ourselves into this corner with the shell scripts where we try to support every craptastic shell out there and we're afraid to make any changes because we dont know what crappy shell is going to drop a brick. LTP scripts are written to be POSIX complaint and only POSIX complaint shells should be provided by /bin/sh. -mike
