Hi y'all - What was once merely an annoying invocation has grown to become a difficult-to-perform ritual. I am of course referring the the bootstrapping of Larceny in the cases where there is any kind of a library mismatch from the supported distributions. Specifically, not only is Larceny difficult to bootstrap (yes, the directions are clear and explicit, but it is rather more complex than a "configure; make"), but PLT has it's own long chain of dependencies as well. Effectively I am now unable to move my installation (on a fresh install of Debian Etch for x86-32) forward because, for some reason, PLT's install is crapping out and saying that cpp "fails sanity check".
Whatever. PLT's build problems are not Larceny's - but they are indirectly since Larceny needs a host Scheme to bootstrap. What are the chances of getting another easy-to-bootstrap (e.g. Gambit or Chicken) Scheme added to the bootstrap list? Given that I use Larceny on unfunded secret weapons project of mine, this is a big problem. david -- GPG Public key at http://cyber-rush.org/drr/gpg-public-key.txt _______________________________________________ Larceny-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/bin/listinfo/larceny-users
