XFCE Binary Installer 4.2.3.2 Installation Error

[Nicholas Ochiel]

Hi,  here are the details:

GCC version: 4.03
Distro:  2.6.11-kanotix-11 (Debian 4.0.3-1)

Error:

## Running installer-gui (without debugging)
./installer-gui
./control.sh: line 249: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
./control.sh: line 374: syntax error: unexpected end of file


Details:

I got this error after configuring and running the xfce binary
installer 4.2.3.2.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  Below I've
included the entire log file from the installation.  I'm a bit of a
newbie so if I've missed out on important details please tell me so
that I can provide them.


Thanks in advance.
