The problem is that one of the hacks we had to put in that engine to deal with the fact that the Finder doesn't set up the environment properly interferes with running it from the command line. For now, you've got to supply the full path for both the executable and for the script file to run on the command line. There will be a workaround for this in the next build, but note that bundles are something that UNIX doesn't understand and so you should treat the engine executable like any other unix binary (i.e., you don't need any of that other stuff in the .app bundle to run it).

Re: 2.4.3 / cgi scripts
Already tried those- same behavior. Even if MetacardCarbon is called "mc", the problem persists. I've also configured apache to recognize the ".mt" extension. I guess the question simply put is: how do I make a bundled app on OS X the executable for a script? It only works when I run from the command line *and* execute the application with the script as a parameter (rather than just executing the script). Scott, the ReadME says this is enabled- do you have a formula for doing this? BTW, reading from stdin and writing to stdout do work nicely.

2.4.3 / cgi scripts
I can't seem to figure out how to run a cgi script with 2.4.3. The following works with MC/Darwin as a cgi script with apache: #!mc # file: test.mt on startup .. end startup After installing the MetacardCarbon/Mach-O bundle in the same directory, I can do this from the command line: ./MetacardCarbon.app/Contents/MacOS/MetacardCarbon test.mt And the script will run. However, I can't seem to configure test.mt to run when called by cgi. The following does *not* work as a cgi: #!./MetacardCarbon.app/Contents/MacOS/MetacardCarbon # file: test.mt on startup .. end startup I've tried creating a symbolic link named "mc" to "./MetacardCarbon.app/Contents/MacOS/MetacardCarbon", but that doesn't work either (again, it works on the command line). Any ideas? Brian ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
