It turns out that all of the odd issues I was having were resolved by ditching SRCDIR. I like to build from a separate directory from source as I tend to leave intermediate files in a tmpfs partition, to save my SSD some unnecessary thrashing, so I naturally attempted to use SRCDIR. Anyhow, building from the same directory as the source resolved all of the issues.

Here's hoping Oleg's cmake branch comes together soon. :)

I'm trying to create a 'portable' distribution of chicken and am running into a simple issue. Basically, the built-in library search path isn't always valid, and csc and csi don't appear to pay attention to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Thus, the following:

bin $ ./csi -n

CHICKEN

Error: (string-append) bad argument type - not a string: #f

bin $ echo "(display \"Hello world\")" | ./csc - -o foo

Error: (string-append) bad argument type - not a string: #f

    Call history:

    <syntax>      (##core#begin (display "Hello world"))
    <syntax>      (display "Hello world") <--

Error: shell command terminated with non-zero exit status 17920: bin/chicken - -output-file foo.c

Alright, so with csi and csc we can get around this by explicitly providing a -include-path parameter at the command line. But what of installing eggs? Chicken-install takes no such parameter, and invocations of csc from setup scripts are not mutable to accept the parameter.

It seems to me that the easy fix would be to import a path from some environment variable by default. Does such an environment variable exist already?
