Actually, the `plt-r6rs` executable seems like it might be a better choice than `racket`, but trying that revealed a problem: given the following program as "shebang.ss": #!/usr/bin/env scheme-script #!r6rs (import (rnrs io simple)) (display "Yay!\n")
Running via DrRacket, "racket shebang.ss", or "./shebang.ss" (given a `scheme-script` based on `racket` and the executable bit set) works as expected, but running via "plt-r6rs shebang.ss" or a `scheme-script` based on `plt-r6rs` prints the following error: shebang.ss:1:2: illegal character after `#!' in input: `/' context...: /Applications/Racket v6.11/collects/syntax/readerr.rkt:6:2: raise-read-error9 /Applications/Racket v6.11/collects/syntax/module-reader.rkt:186:17: body /Applications/Racket v6.11/collects/syntax/module-reader.rkt:183:2: wrap-internal wrap-internal/wrapper /Applications/Racket v6.11/share/pkgs/r6rs-lib/r6rs/run.rkt:54:2: r6rs-read-syntax /Applications/Racket v6.11/collects/syntax/modcode.rkt:62:2: reader /Applications/Racket v6.11/collects/syntax/modcode.rkt:279:5: compile-one /Applications/Racket v6.11/share/pkgs/r6rs-lib/r6rs/run.rkt: [running body] (Adding a space between the `#!` and `/usr/bin/env` doesn't help.) -Philip On Sun, Dec 10, 2017 at 9:34 AM, Philip McGrath <[email protected]> wrote: > This morning I stumbled across Appendix D to R6RS ( > http://www.r6rs.org/final/html/r6rs-app/r6rs-app-Z-H-6.html), which > suggests that implementations provide an executable named scheme-script for > the purpose of executing portable scripts.
