Hi Gopi,
Are you sure that the execute permissions are set for the guile-config
executable? Check this with ls -l /path/to/guile-config . It should
look something like
$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/guile-config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9110 2006-11-30 10:00 /usr/local/bin/guile-config
The gibberish at the beginning of the line is the permissions. r is
read, w is write, x is execute. The first rwx is for the owner of the
file (root in this case), the second r-x is for any user in the group
(root) that owns the file, and the third r-x is for all other users.
That initial - is for a few special things, like marking directories.
If you lack the x on the third set of permissions, then most users will
not be able to execute guile-config, and in fact it will fail with just
the error message you received. If you lack the x on all three sets of
permissions, then nobody (yes not even root) will be able to execute
guile-config.
You can change the permissions with chmod (1). Try
$ chmod a+x /path/to/guile-config
This will set the execute bit for owner, group, and others, that is, for
all three permissions categories. It will leave the read and write bits
unchanged.
Regards,
Jon
