I haven't seen that since about OS 7.  Serial port?  On what?

a.out instead of A.out?  My disk is configured case sensitive to better match real UNIX.

Are you depending on a profile or rc startup for your shell.  It won't get run. Very few environment variables are preset.

I don't know if the ~ symbol gets defined either. Try a full path.

Do you really need Finder? I can see it messing with the POSIX file path. Perhaps it needs "quoted form of "

Is the execute bit set on a.out?  For everyone?
