Those are guile-2.0 files; the files Jeremy reported issues with are guile-2.2. Guile 2.0 files starts with the MAGIC "GOOF" whereas Guile-2.2 is a genuine ELF binary (\x7f followed by "ELF"). Even file(1) recognises them simply as ELF files: """ ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/aisleriot/guile/2.2/zebra.go: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, no machine, version 1 (embedded), dynamically linked, with debug_info, not stripped """ Thanks, ~Niels
