It works to tell your shell how to execute a script if it has executable privileges. For example, let's say you have a Python script and you make it executable (so you don't have to invoke the Python interpreter). The shebang at the beginning tells the shell that this is a Python script that needs to be interpreted by Python.Since C/C++/Obj-C compile to native code, the shebang is useless since no interpreter needs to be invoked. In those languages, the hash mark actually signifies something else (preprocessor directives). Valid examples include #define and #include and invalid examples include your shebang line.As dys said, remove it and try again.</blockquote>
