awk syntax error

[upD8R]

Hi there,

just setting up a new RPi with your very cool scripts but after installing autogain1090 I get an awk syntax error (the "basic" stuff works as expected as far as I can tell):

pi@flight:~ $ sudo autogain1090
awk: line 1: syntax error at or near }
awk: line 1: syntax error at or near }
No gain change needed, percentage of messages >-3dB is in nominal range. (0,968%)

Any idea?

does it persist or was it only happening on first run?

Run the install again, see if the error is gone.

It persists, also after 2nd installation.

Looks like a variable is not (yet) populated? But I don't know, which awk is throwing this error.

[wiedehopf]

Edit /usr/local/bin/autogain1090 and add a set -x at the start of the script.

Something "," vs "."?

+ awk 'BEGIN{ exit (0,000 > 0.5) }'
awk: line 1: syntax error at or near }
+ awk 'BEGIN{ exit (0,000 < 7.0) }'
awk: line 1: syntax error at or near }

Yeah it's your locale .... i really don't know why awk depends on locale it's very annoying.

Ok ... try another install, should be fixed.

Many thanks, by Googling I was also ending up at my locale ;-)

It is fixed now, thanks indeed for your outstanding support!
