sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

headers Smithies, Russell | 10 Mar 2013 21:30

I'll get in first and say it's best to 'use strict', and 'use warnings'  

Perhaps some of the params to water have changed? It looks like it wants filenames, not objects.
I get the same errors with your code - which I think is coming from water.

If I do this it seems to work OK:
---------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

# get an EMBOSS factory
use Bio::Factory::EMBOSS;
use Bio::AlignIO;
use Bio::SeqIO;

use strict;
use warnings;

my $f = Bio::Factory::EMBOSS -> new();
# get an EMBOSS application  object from the factory
my $water = $f->program('water');
my $wateroutfile = 'out.water';
$water->run({  -verbose => 1,
               -asequence => 'krt1.fasta',
               -bsequence => 'krt2.fasta',
               -gapopen   => '10.0',
               -gapextend => '0.5',
               -outfile   => 'out.water'});
------------------------------------------------

Hi! Yes I'm sure, my script is exactly what I posted here. And I run it like
this:
anvin26 <at> anvin26:~/Bureau/emboss$ perl water.pl
sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
So, I think there is no ambiguity (I run it like a perl script) and this why I don't understand why the script is
run like a bash script!
