Part of the solution, as several people have suggested is to add the full path to the octave executable. Having said that, It still doesn’t work.
I'm using BBedit which allow me to change the line endings.
For Unix which is a line feed I get
dsl017-068-210:Octave williamminer$ ./hello
./hello: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `"Hello, world!\n"'
./hello: line 3: `printf("Hello, world!\n");'
For Mac which is a carriage return I get
dsl017-068-210:Octave williamminer$ ./hello
#: bad interpreter: No such file or directoryents/Resources/bin/octave
And finally for windows which is carriage return line feed I get
dsl017-068-210:Octave williamminer$ ./hello
-bash: ./hello: /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
dsl017-068-210:Octave williamminer$
Bizarre!
