env-dependent scripts with hashbang line not possible

[Alexander Pánek]

Note: I am not a Lisp developer, I am merely trying to use a project written in Lisp, using SBCL.

I was trying make a script aware of the fact that sbcl might not be installed in /usr/bin/sbcl, but somewhere else in PATH. However, simply replacing the first line to be:

#!/usr/bin/env sbcl --script

... did not work, as env would complain there is no file called "sbcl --script".

I know I could create an alias and refer to that, but I'd rather find a commonly usable solution that anyone can use.

Any thoughts?

It's a problem with execve(2), not SBCL.

And to accomplish the same thing:

#!/bin/sh
#|
exec sbcl --script "$0" $@
|#

(princ "script")
