there is something seriously wrong with your distribution
if you /bin/sh cannot handle "function".

i assume you don't have any modifications in your .profile
or .bashrc that redefine function to something else.

as a test to make sure that your shell is to blame, please
reinstate the original version of the check_failure.sh script
and try to run the examples by typing:

bash  ./run_example

and compare to

sh ./run_example

if only the second fails, you should complain to the ubuntu
maintainers about shipping a non-standard bourne shell
(and consider installing a different distribution).

that would be the exampleXX/run_example scripts. since
check_failure.sh is sourced by them...


cheers,
