Issue 1: Syntax error: Bad substitution

Ubuntu does not use the default unix sh (see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-499045.html) which leads to incompatibilities with standard sh scripts. This means that you get the following error when calling hex:

/usr/local/lib/hex/bin/run_hex: 76: Syntax error: Bad substitution

Solution:

Change the first line of .../hex/bin/run_hex from:

#!/bin/sh

to:

#!/bin/bash
