execlp is a built-in guile procedure to execute an external
program from a guile script.
The g-wrap script (in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin or whereever you
installed g-wrap) executes another script (/usr/libexec/g-wrap-guile).
Could you look in the g-wrap script and make sure that the path
to g-wrap-guile is corect? Also, could you make sure that g-wrap-guile
has been given execute permissions?
