Xfce4 on Ubuntu Edgy.

I launch the command "beagle-search" from "xfterm4 ".

walter@oinophilos:~$ beagle-search
exec: 24: -a: not found

I've installed "beagle" with all the dipendecies.

Ah, I see it, /usr/bin/beagle-search uses a bash "exec -a" to launch the mono executable, but the script is marked #/bin/sh, which is dash - dash doesn't support "exec -a", so it fails.

The solutions are either:
Line 1: #!/bin/bash
 or
Line 24: exec $BEAGLE_MONO_RUNTIME --debug $MONO_EXTRA_ARGS $THIS_EXE "$@"

Although I didn't bother to test the latter.

I suffered from the same bug and I confirmed that the latter works as well.
