I install Jython on hp-ux, the installation is successfuly, but when I try to run Jython, I got the following error msg.
jython2.5.2rc3 > ./jython
No such file or directory: bash
It is strange, the file is there and I use ksh on the hp-ux.

uname -a
HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800

have you tried any different method to run it?

e.g.: jython or sh jython

What is in that program? Is this compatible with the shell / platform ?

Why is this strange? It says you must have bash, even though you said you use a real shell.

The first line of jython most likely uses the bash interpreter and you will either have to install bash or port your jython script to a real shell.

>jython[50]: Syntax error at line 51 : `(' is not expected.

This is one of the areas you would need to port.

Jython is just like Perl , Python, I install this on the server, so I don't think I should change the source code. When I install Jython,
I install use root, the installation program suggest to install under /root, but also can select another dir, so I change the dir to /opt. if this cause issue ?someone have the experience to install Jython on hp-ux ?

if you do not want to change the code (why not? it's open source after all, so you can!) you will need to install bash.

do 'head jython', you'll probably notice it uses bash.

$ head jython
#!/usr/bin/env bash

there's your proof.
