RE: Newbie bash user problem--interactive bash will not run my scripts!

[Frank Merenda <fmerenda at offmail dot vetexchange dot com>]

If you are in the directory where the script exists, try putting a ./ in
front of the shell script, like:

	./build-dist.sh

That will tell your bash shell to execute the script from the current
directory.

I hope that helps!
