while trying to run some configure scripts i get this error:

: command not found3: 
./configure: line 21: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
'/configure: line 21: `elif test -n "${BASH_VERSION+set}" && 
 (set -o posix)>/dev/null 2>&1; then

additional I have written a simple script that consits solely of:

cd /path/to/project
/usr/bin/perl /path/to/script/script.pl
cd /path/to/project2
/usr/bin/perl /path to/script/script.pl
...

for every single line of that script, i get the error :command not found...
but it executes anyway, even though it says there's an error, it still works!

is there a problem with the shell i am running? i set SHELL=/bin/bash in my
.bashrc file.

I am also using the rxvt terminal, my cygwin.bat file looks like this:
@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
REM set EDITOR=vi
REM set VISUAL=vi
set CYGWIN=codepage:oem tty binmode title
rxvt -e bash --login -i

thanks for your help.
