"bad interpreter: /usr/bin/python^M" error with Mnemosyne 2.6

[sml...@gmail.com]

After building and installing the just-released Mnemosyne 2.6, it failed to start on my Arch Linux system, with the following error message written to the terminal:

    zsh: /bin/mnemosyne: bad interpreter: /usr/bin/python^M: no such file or directory

It turns out this is because the start-up script (called `Mnemosyne-2.6/mnemosyne/pyqt_ui/mnemosyne` in the release bundle and installed to `/usr/bin/mnemosyne`) uses CRLF line endings, and the shell stupidly thinks the CR is part of the interpreter path.
I'm not sure if it's only Arch Linux and/or the zsh shell that is so strict about line endings, but the issue was easily worked around by removing that first CR character, which I did here in my Arch Linux install script for Mnemosyne:

Posting here in case this issue affects others, as well.

Thanks, I’ve uploaded a new tarball with the correct line endings.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter
