Never mind,

I received a friendly reminder that I should have put #!/bin/sh at the top of the file.

Sorry for the noise

Hello,

I am trying to get ABCL running under Slime on Linux (RHEL6). I already have it running on Windows 10.

I wrote the following script (abcl.sh) to launch it: java \ -cp /usr/local/share/java/abcl.jar \ org.armedbear.lisp.Main

The script resides in /usr/local/bin, and it successfully launches ABCL from the command line of system-administrator (who installs the software) and other users.

However, in Emacs/slime (latest), I get

emacs: /usr/local/bin/abcl.sh: Exec format error

Process inferior-lisp exited abnormally with code 126

The definition of abcl resides in local-lisp-implementations: ((abcl ("/usr/local/bin/abcl.sh")) (sbcl ("/usr/local/bin/sbcl")))

Actually there is a symbolic link involved: abcl.sh resides in sys-admins directory, and /usr/local/bin/abcl.sh is a symbolic link to it. I did try pointing to the script itself, both from command line of users and from Emacs. The behavior was the same.

To summarize:

• a script launches ABCL from command line
• Emacs gives an Exec format error
• I did test for symbolic link effects and found none

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Mirko
