Anyway, installing the version I downloaded from the path you mentioned worked fine. Thanks! Thanks everyone for all your responses to my very simple problem :) I already have a good feeling about my choice of Scheme version. Hopefully when I will actually start programming I can repay the favors by helping other newbies :) And I will consult a kubuntu forum on the X errors... </tt> <tt> Ronny. </tt> jos koot wrote: <blockquote cite="mid000a01c78405$f287afb0$2101a8c0@joskoot" type="cite"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; "> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16414" name="GENERATOR"> <style></style> <div>How did you download DrScheme?

Unfortunately I ran into trouble already before I could get it installed, and I would be very happy if someone could shed some light on the meaning of the error messages I got. I first tried sudo apt-get install mzscheme drscheme, installed all dependent packages and checked the checkbox that showed up asking me if I want to start the web server. I received various error messages, the one that particularly bothered me was the one saying that drscheme depends on mzscheme, which was not properly configured (the actual message has disappeared from the end of the console buffer): So I tried: $ /etc/init.d/mzscheme start Starting web server: mzserver ... start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/lib/plt/bin/mzscheme: No such file or directory (No such file or directory) failed Based on this, I tried reconfiguring it, with no luck, but then I figured that I might satisfy it by copying /usr/bin/mzscheme into the directory above, which gave me this result (together with the X errors below, which I don't understand but I know are not related to plt-scheme): $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mzscheme /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mzscheme is broken or not fully installed DESTROY created new reference to dead object ' Qt::VBoxLayout' during global destruction. After a bit of trouble I managed to get the packages removed, so I could start over: $ sudo apt-get install mzscheme Reading package lists...

Done Suggested packages:   drscheme slib The following NEW packages will be installed:   mzscheme 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/5070kB of archives. After unpacking 25.4MB of additional disk space will be used.

I am not (yet) experienced enough with linux to solve this problem by myself, hence my mail to this list. Any hint to get me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated!
