I'm running a script from here: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/pandaboard thats not working for me.
It's supposed to partition and format the SD card I'm using for my Arch ARM install.
I get the following output:
# ./xmkcard.sh /dev/sdb
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.222972 s, 4.7 MB/s
DISK SIZE - 15931539456 bytes
./xmkcard.sh: line 24: bc: command not found
CYLINDERS -
Usage:
sfdisk [options] <device> [...]
Options:
-s, --show-size list size of a partition
-c, --id change or print partition Id
--change-id change Id
--print-id print Id
-l, --list list partitions of each device
-d, --dump idem, but in a format suitable for later input
-i, --increment number cylinders etc. from 1 instead of from 0
-u, --unit <letter> units to be used; <letter> can be one of
S (sectors), C (cylinders), B (blocks), or M (MB)
-1, --one-only reserved option that does nothing currently
-T, --list-types list the known partition types
-D, --DOS for DOS-compatibility: waste a little space
-E, --DOS-extended DOS extended partition compatibility
-R, --re-read make the kernel reread the partition table
-N <number> change only the partition with this <number>
-n do not actually write to disk
-O <file> save the sectors that will be overwritten to <file>
-I <file> restore sectors from <file>
-V, --verify check that the listed partitions are reasonable
-v, --version display version information and exit
-h, --help display this help text and exit
Dangerous options:
-f, --force disable all consistency checking
--no-reread do not check whether the partition is in use
-q, --quiet suppress warning messages
-L, --Linux do not complain about things irrelevant for Linux
-g, --show-geometry print the kernel's idea of the geometry
-G, --show-pt-geometry print geometry guessed from the partition table
-A, --activate[=<device>] activate bootable flag
-U, --unhide[=<dev>] set partition unhidden
-x, --show-extended also list extended partitions in the output,
or expect descriptors for them in the input
--leave-last do not allocate the last cylinder
--IBM same as --leave-last
--in-order partitions are in order
--not-in-order partitions are not in order
--inside-outer all logicals inside outermost extended
--not-inside-outer not all logicals inside outermost extended
--nested every partition is disjoint from all others
--chained like nested, but extended partitions may lie outside
--onesector partitions are mutually disjoint
Override the detected geometry using:
-C, --cylinders <number> set the number of cylinders to use
-H, --heads <number> set the number of heads to use
-S, --sectors <number> set the number of sectors to use

fiI posted this on their forums, but I don't think theres a whole lot going on there based on the amount of unanswered questions in my Pandaboard subforum. I hoping to be able to tap into the knowledge here to get some help.
Thanks in advance ......

The error message says you don't have bc installed

Thanks skunktrader,
Feeling kinda silly now looking at this. Would have known without thinking, this error was from a missing package using the terminal for most things.
Somehow, likely the excitement of my first Arch install on ARM based hardware, made me completely forget nearly everything I have learned as a Linux user to date.
Also, the ./xmkcard.sh: line 24: bit may have distracted me from seeing the obvious.
