bad interpreter: Operation not permitted on Lion 10.7.3

Has anyone got skype so they can give me a step by step way to do this if so please add me, I am 12 so dont not add me cause of my age i just really need help with this. My skype, craig.burden3

I could use some help with a similar error. I'm not a programmer. I installed VirtualBox, and decided to go with Parallels. When I double click VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool, I get:

Last login: Thu Oct 11 07:53:04 on console

/Volumes/VirtualBox/VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool ; exit;

davids-iMac:~ david seln$ /Volumes/VirtualBox/VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool ; exit;

-bash: /Volumes/VirtualBox/VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Operation not permitted

logout

[Process completed]

Any ideas?

From our recent conversation, i know you have resolved the VirtualBox removal issue. Should you have a future bad interpreter: Operation not permitted issue, the following link has a solution that works for that error. It is similar to Linc's Find syntax earlier in this post.

Got the same error message. A piece of sell script used to run well could not run any more after I modified with it with textEdit.

I open the file with pico, and save and exit. Then it works again.

TextEdit is not a true code editor, and in your case, may add undesireable attributes to your code.

Pico, vi, vim, Sublime Text 2, Chocolate, Textmate, Xcode editor, and others treat code as code, hence your experience with Pico.

actually if you know how to use it.. it is a true text editor and will not add anything weird.

The errors here have nothing to do with the file itself, but Gatekeeper.

If you really want to use a GUI text editor, then download the free TextWrangler.

All these answers are useless spam! The only thing that says what's really going on and a solution that works is described here:

Short: run this command and you should be fine.

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <YOUR FILE HERE>

thank u so mutch, your solution work and save my time, and of cource i completely agree with u: about 4 pages of useless spam

Thank you so much febeling! I was going mad.

🙂 😀 this is the one that got me past my permission denied. this was the one. the article is genius giving options of de-quaratining a file, folder or system. superb job! onwards and upwards... 😝

I had this problem too, appearing on 10.8.3

It appeared after I had some FS damage, I think due to VirtualBox creating a VDI badly. I repaired the FS and the permissions. After that I saw this error when trying to run scripts that I work on inside a HFS+ case sensitive disk image. The same problem was happening for very simple scripts I created after the problem started.

None of the suggestions I have read in this thread resolved the issue. What eventually resolved it for me was to create a new disk image, copy the files across, and then, for each script, to do:

cat script > new_script

rm script

chmod +x new_script

mv new_script script

Hours were wasted figuring out this problem.

When running the command (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <YOUR FILE HERE>) through an application environment I'm having error:

xattr: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: <YOUR FILE HERE>

How I can fix this? Which command I should use to overcome? I'm on Yosemite.
