Could you have /opt/compat/python3 be a symlink to /usr/local/bin/python3? > IS THIS A KERNEL BUG ??? Unices have never agreed exactly on #!-line behavior. Here's one person's attempt to document differences: https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/ The relevant section for this thread is https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/#interpreter-script Regards, Richardhelp
