Hi there,

I just tried building guile 2.0.9 under three versions of Mac OS X (10.6.8, 10.7.5 and 10.8.3). In all cases I get the following error:

<snip>
Making all in lib
make[2]: Entering directory `/private/tmp/guile-2.0.9/lib'
make[2]: ../build-aux/install-sh: Command not found
make[2]: *** [arpa/inet.h] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/private/tmp/guile-2.0.9/lib'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/private/tmp/guile-2.0.9'
make: *** [all] Error 2
</snip>

Notes:
* the tile /private/tmp/guile-2.0.9/build-aux/install-sh does exist and is executable.
* /usr/include/arpa/inet.h is also available, so no CPPFLAGS should be needed

Any ideas?

It appears that I made a mistake when building the tarball.  Can you
change the first line of build-aux/install-sh to #!/bin/sh and try
again?

(For some reason that line in the tarball would refer to a local file
name instead of /bin/sh.  I’ll investigate to see how it ended up here.)

Ludovic,

Good catch!

 I didn't look at #!

For the record, the problem is that the scripts installed by
‘automake -a’, with Automake from Guix, would contain “patched” shebangs
referring to files under /nix/store:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-04/msg00076.html

This is a serious issue that I’ve fixed now.

The Guile 2.0.9 tarball has several scripts in build-aux/ with invalid
shebangs.  “Fortunately”, apart from ‘install-sh’, they are normally
invoked as “$SHELL ./the-file”, so the shebang isn’t actually used.

Please accept my apologies...

Ludo’.
