Wrong in this Perl regex in OSX

bashperl

The code works in Ubuntu, but not in OSX.

I run

perl -000pe 's/\n/\n\\begin{enumerate}\n/; s/\n\d./\n\\item /g; s/$/\\end{enumerate}\n/' lorem.tex

I get

-bash: $: command not found
MacBook-Air:draft masi$

It seems like you might have cut-n-pasted the command in to the shell in some odd way - or you manually entered it in the wrong way.

Try again, and this time pay attention to the quote characters. You need to use the right apostrophes. Make sure you don't use backticks or similar.

MacOS – Getting Perl DBD::thesql working on OS X 10.7

After quite a bit of frustration, I eventually found a simple solution that works.

The salient details are that you need to update the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/mysql/lib. The easiest way of doing that is to add the following to your ~/.bashrc file:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/mysql/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"

I went into a little more detail in a blog post here: http://www.bartbusschots.ie/blog/?p=2186

Command not found for shell script

Do you have a ~/.bash_profile? If so, then that will be preferred over the ~/.profile startup script. Next, verify the setting of your path (echo $PATH). Also (and this may be a dumb question) are you actually logged in as GuardDog_02? In other words, is ~ identical to /Users/GuardDog_02?
