Problem compiling GNU utilities ..

| I would like to compile the GNU coreutils, findutils, and GREP on a Red Hat
9.0 machine with all packages installed.
I get the following error when running "./configure" for all three
packages:
": bad interpreter: No such file or directory"
My Linux skills are somewhat basic, so I don't know how to resolve this.
The system is completely default, I just installed it a few days ago.
Thanks for the advice!

head -1 configure
That will print out the so called shebang line, pointing to the needed
interpreter. Be sure you have that one installed.

Hi Alexander,
When I run "head -1 configure" from the GNU coreutils directory I made, I
get:
"#! /bin/sh"
So I tried "sh ./configure" and got:
:command not found3
../configure: line 21:syntax error near unexpected token 'elif'
../configure: line 21: 'elif test -n "${BASH_VERSION+set}" && (set -o posix)
'/dev/null 2>&1;then
Not sure what that means. Also, I ran "sh" and tried "./configure" from
that shell. I got:
": bad interpreter: No such file or directory"
I'm surprised I can't get coreutils compiled quickly on a default (with full
packages) installation of Red Hat 9. Maybe I'm screwed something up? I'm
using the latest stable coreutils source as of this morning from the GNU
site.
