Hi Murta,

the doc is wrong. On my OSX-systems there is no symbolic link in those 
directories either.
I assume you have installed Mathematica under /Applications? To make 
your script
work, you only have to find where MathematicaScript is located. Open a 
terminal and
do the following:

find /Applications -name "MathematicaScript"

This should return the path which you can replace in your script.m. Here 
the working
script looks then like

#!/Applications/Develop/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathematicaScript-script

Print /@ RandomVariate[MixtureDistribution[
   {1,2},
   {NormalDistribution[1,2/10],
    NormalDistribution[3,1/10]}],
   10,  WorkingPrecision -> 50]

Cheers
Patrick
