Mac OS: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: Operation not permitted

Question

I\'m trying to run this script on Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and I\'m getting the error:

$ bbcolors
-bash: /usr/local/bin/bbcolors: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: Op         


        

Answer 1

Did you happen to open/save the file in TextEdit?

That can introduce filesystem metadata (quarantine attribute) leading to the symptom you describe.

Try:

xattr -l /usr/local/bin/bbcolors

and

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/bbcolors

if you see the quarantine attribute.
