OK, I found the problem:
% grep "#\!" scheme/*.scm
scheme/coot-gui.scm:#!/home/paule/build/bin/guile -s
scheme/tips-gui.scm:#!/home/paule/build/bin/guile -s
This can be fixed by removing those lines from the two scheme files.
In addition, the last two lines of the tips-gui.scm file need to be
uncommented in order to actually get the annoying tips pop-up to appear.
I have no idea why it failed silently for me but created problems for
others (and there was at least one other that I now think was the same
problem).

That is interesting. The tips annoy me so I have it turned off by
default, and when I went to try to reproduce your problem, I
couldn't get it to come on again (removing .coot and so forth).
