Installing SQL Developer on Ubuntu – make-sqldeveloper-package chmod: missing operand after `755′

Hey everyone,

I was following a guide while trying to install SQL Developer on Ubuntu, however I ran into the following error:

 

To fix it, simply change line number #381 in ‘/usr/bin /make-sqldeveloper-package’ as follows:

Original

${FIND} "${OPTDIR}" ! ( -type d -o -name "*.jar" ) |${XARGS} ${XARGS_OPTS} ${FILE} ${FILE_OPTS} |${GREP} ${GREP_OPTS} "shell script text executable" |${CUT} ${CUT_OPTS_FUNC_CLEAN} |${XARGS} ${XARGS_OPTS} ${CHMOD} ${CHMOD_OPTS}

Modified

${FIND} "${OPTDIR}" ! ( -type d -o -name "*.jar" ) |${XARGS} ${XARGS_OPTS} ${FILE} ${FILE_OPTS} |${GREP} ${GREP_OPTS} "shell script" | ${GREP} ${GREP_OPTS} "text executable" |${CUT} ${CUT_OPTS_FUNC_CLEAN} |${XARGS} ${XARGS_OPTS} ${CHMOD} ${CHMOD_OPTS}

Thanks to this blog post for the solution, just note that it is Polish.

Let me know if you have any issues!
