Re: [??] can't get scripts to work!

Your script is being interpreted by /bin/sh.  Some operating systems
have a limitation on how big the #! line can be (usually 32
characters).

If that is true, then the problem is your kernel is only seeing
`/home/petersen/mount/solaris/bin'.

Here's the magic you want:

#!/home/petersen/mount/solaris/bin/guile -s
exec /home/petersen/mount/solaris/bin/guile -s "$0" ${1+"$@"}
exit 1
!#

Have fun,
