I am certain this is caused by /bin/sh being a simple POSIX shell (dash)
instead of the more featureful bash.  To pin the blame: if the installer
wants to use bashisms, it should say #!/bin/bash at the top, and if it
says #!/bin/sh, it should work with any POSIX shell.  Somebody should
file a bug in Maemo bugzilla (read: "I'm too lazy to do it").

You can try running 'bash installer' instead of './installer'.  Or, even
better, install from debs:

  sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
    # a line in my /etc/apt/sources.list
    deb http://scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/0.9.8/deb/ ./

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install scratchbox-core scratchbox-devkit-debian \
                       scratchbox-libs \
                       scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-i386 \
                       scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm

  sudo adduser $USER sbox
  sudo /scratchbox/bin/sbox_adduser $USER

Now log out and log back in (or start a subshell with 'newgrp sbox')
and then continue the tutorial from the '/scratchbox/login' step.

HTH,
