#36036 closed defect (fixed)

running jruby fails with "expr: syntax error"

Port: jruby

Description

I have got the same error explained at ​http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5318. Soft link to jruby seems to cause the problem. I attach a patch for bin/jruby, but I am afraid there are other files to be patched and even files in jruby-devel port.

In Mountain Lion, the expr command provided by Apple is based on the FreeBSD version and not on the old NetBSD one.

ML's expr doesn't interpret correctly the single backslash. I found that another effective workaround consists in escaping the single slash from: 

if expr "$link" : '/' > /dev/null; then

into 

if expr "$link" : '\/' > /dev/null; then

The launcher script of jython suffers from the same problem.
