[plt-scheme] Trouble with SLIB
Hi:
I'm using PLT scheme with OS X (10.4.9). I'm trying to use the bignum
functions. I'm getting a variety of errors:
--
Applications/PLT Scheme v360/collects/slibinit/init.ss::2899: slib-
init: can't find SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, "slib"
collection, or a system slib dir
--
I've tested modified SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH with (putenv ...). I've
tried a number of things. I've researched back in the mail log and
there seemed to have been some discussion on this subject (there was
a patch but it was for 299). It seem like the slibinit/init.ss file
is broken and t hat certainly seems to be true. It seems to think PLT
scheme is installed in /usr/local but on the Mac its in /Applications/
PLT Scheme v360/collects. Is OS X's directory structure the
underlying problem? It has certainly caused its share of headaches
with the spaces and whatnot.
Has there been any decision to thrash slibint, what are people using
for bignums? I'm working some code (in C) that uses the Chinese
Remainder theorem, using scheme and bignum would be ideal.
