Rails - May 2006 - newbie question - script/server doesn''t run without explicit ''ruby'' command

Hi,

This one is probably an easy one, but is very troubling to me.  I can''t
just
say:

script/server

and watch WEBrick start.  I have to say:

ruby script/server


The first line in the server script is:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

which invokes ruby just fine on the command line.  For fun, I changed the
line to point directly to my executable:

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby

But still, same result.  I just get my prompt back.  But invoking the script
explicitly with ruby in front of it actually starts WEBrick.

This may seem minor, but none of the online examples I see for UNIX uses the
explicit ruby command.  #! should work fine, right?
I happen to be experiencing other problems (with FastCGI and Typo), and
I''m
wondering if they might be related.

Ruby 1.8.4
Rails 0.14.4
Linux Fedora Core 4

Thanks,
Steve

P.S.  Same goes for other scripts, like script/process/spawner.  So the
problem is global.

Are your scripts executable?

chmod a+x script/server.

Yes, all of my scripts are all executable.  In fact, I ran chmod -R
777 *over the whole hierarchy, to eliminate any potential permission
issues.

Thanks,
