/usr/bin/env: php: No such file or directory

Thanks for that ... just setup my dedicated and "apt-get install php5-cli " was just what the doctor ordered!

Just had the same problem, thanks for the info ... Works fine now!

I'm trying to install Drush on an Ubuntu box running Ubuntu 8.04. I have my development site up and running on this machine with PHP Version 5.2.10-0.dotdeb.1 installed. According to my synaptic package manager, this is the most recent version available.

I installed Drush as per
http://groups.drupal.org/node/23487
Installing Drush on Ubuntu
in my home/username folder

I also get the error:
/usr/bin/env: php: No such file or directory
when trying to run Drush. But, in trying to apply the fix described here, I get the following when I try to install php5-cli:

php5-cli:
Depends: php5-common (=5.2.9-0.dotdeb.2) but 5.2.10-0.dotdeb.1 is to be installed

Seems to be some kind of road block. I'm something of a newbie to Ubuntu. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get Drush to work?

This is probably way late but I figured I would offer up a reason for others. The problem webpotato is experiencing is due to him adding a repository or adding some "extra" type of features for php5-common that are not the "main" ones. I had this problem with curl as I was experimenting with ffmpeg and apc... etc so I ended up adding third party repos and doing some updates and additions. Well by doing that, it sorta confused php5 into what is required what you have...etc. Only way I fixed it was to uninstall php5-common which trashes your php setup and then rebuild it from there. Hopefully that makes some type of sense. :)

Just ran into this problem myself and this solved it. Thanks.

Thank you!

Finlay it works!
