#827 closed defect ("fixed")

ARB install crashes on first run (?) if there are spaces in the PATH.

Description

I was installing ARB earlier today.

/usr/lib/arb/bin/arb: eval: line 55: syntax error near unexpected token `('

To resolve the issue, I escaped spaces in the PATH and altered line 55 to eval $1=\"$result\"

  • Owner changed from devel to westram
  • Status changed from new to _started

  • Resolution set to "fixed"
  • Status changed from _started to closed

I've added some "fixes":

  • deny spaces during install (only arb installation path)
  • accept spaces during startup ('arb' script)
  • warn about spaces when running (any path or filename)

Really fixing that problem is too error-prone.
