On further investigation, if you run `firefox` at a command prompt, you see: {{{ mary-kay-commandos:~ geofft$ firefox awk: cmd. line:24: default = """"; awk: cmd. line:24: ^ syntax error awk: cmd. line:31: default = id; awk: cmd. line:31: ^ syntax error awk: cmd. line:34: if (use_default != 0 && default != """") awk: cmd. line:34: ^ syntax error awk: cmd. line:36: else if (nprofiles == 1 && count == 1) awk: cmd. line:36: ^ syntax error }}} Apparently this is because as of Lucid's version of awk, `default` is a reserved word: {{{ dr-wily:~ geofft$ awk --version | head -1 GNU Awk 3.1.5 dr-wily:~ geofft$ awk 'BEGIN {default=3; print default;}' 3 dr-wily:~ geofft$ awk 'BEGIN {defaul=3; print defaul;}' 3 }}} {{{ mary-kay-commandos:~ geofft$ awk --version | head -1 GNU Awk 3.1.6 mary-kay-commandos:~ geofft$ awk 'BEGIN {default=3; print default;}' awk: BEGIN {default=3; print default;} awk: ^ syntax error awk: BEGIN {default=3; print default;} awk: ^ syntax error mary-kay-commandos:~ geofft$ awk 'BEGIN {defaul=3; print defaul;}' 3 }}}" defect closed normal Summer 2010 (Lucid Deploy) -- fixed
