Re: [Wrapper-user] Shell script won't execute on Mac

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Mark,
Hmm, the most common problem are line feeds, but it sounds like you have 
checked
that.

What version of the Wrapper are you using?  Is the shell script from the 
same version.
Newer versions of the shell script should handle this better, but have 
you made sure that
the wrapper binary exists, is the correct version for the platform, and 
has its executable
bit set?

When all else fails, try adding the following towards the top of the 
shell script.
---
echo "Here"
---
Try rerunning it.  If you see the message, then we know that the script 
is being run
and that is a problem with something in the script.   If not then we 
know that is something
wrong with the script that is severe enough that the script can't be run 
at all.

If it is something in the script, try adding more echo statements to 
track down the
culprit and get back to me.  A pain, but that will be the fasted route 
to a solution.

Cheers,
Leif
