xmkcard.sh script error [Solved]

[jeffstory]

New Pandaboard ES owner and Arch ARM user here with a few years of Arch Linux X-86 use as my main desktop.

Got Ubuntu ARM and Linaro Ubuntu set up with xfce4 on different sdhc cards, no luck with Arch so far.

Running ./xmkcard.sh /dev/sdb results in this error: ./xmkcard.sh: line 24: bc: command not found

Did the script do what was intended based on the following info?

Complete output below.

CYLINDERS -

Usage:
sfdisk [options] <device> [...]

Options:
-s, --show-size list size of a partition
-c, --id change or print partition Id
--change-id change Id
--print-id print Id
-l, --list list partitions of each device
-d, --dump idem, but in a format suitable for later input
-i, --increment number cylinders etc. from 1 instead of from 0
-u, --unit <letter> units to be used; <letter> can be one of
S (sectors), C (cylinders), B (blocks), or M (MB)
-1, --one-only reserved option that does nothing currently
-T, --list-types list the known partition types
-D, --DOS for DOS-compatibility: waste a little space
-E, --DOS-extended DOS extended partition compatibility
-R, --re-read make the kernel reread the partition table
-N <number> change only the partition with this <number>
-n do not actually write to disk
-O <file> save the sectors that will be overwritten to <file>
-I <file> restore sectors from <file>
-V, --verify check that the listed partitions are reasonable
-v, --version display version information and exit
-h, --help display this help text and exit

Dangerous options:
-f, --force disable all consistency checking
--no-reread do not check whether the partition is in use
-q, --quiet suppress warning messages
-L, --Linux do not complain about things irrelevant for Linux
-g, --show-geometry print the kernel's idea of the geometry
-G, --show-pt-geometry print geometry guessed from the partition table
-A, --activate[=<device>] activate bootable flag
-U, --unhide[=<dev>] set partition unhidden
-x, --show-extended also list extended partitions in the output,
or expect descriptors for them in the input
--leave-last do not allocate the last cylinder
--IBM same as --leave-last
--in-order partitions are in order
--not-in-order partitions are not in order
--inside-outer all logicals inside outermost extended
--not-inside-outer not all logicals inside outermost extended
--nested every partition is disjoint from all others
--chained like nested, but extended partitions may lie outside
--onesector partitions are mutually disjoint

Override the detected geometry using:
-C, --cylinders <number> set the number of cylinders to use
-H, --heads <number> set the number of heads to use
-S, --sectors <number> set the number of sectors to use

After running the script, it did remove previous partitions and data that I had installed that would not boot, but now shows nothing as viewed from GParted.
Is this normal. I have a 16GB sdhc card so I can setup a home partition and directory on it with plenty future space. Shouldn't I be seeing a fat16 or 32? partition at this point?

This is the beginning of my second install attempt. Notice there's not much board activity regarding Pandaboard ES. Did I select an unpopular board for my future ARM desktop project?
