[Chicken-users] How to install eggs in $HOME?
Hi there, I was playing a bit with Chicken Scheme and was unable to install an egg. chicken is installed as rpm package chicken in fedora 20. Now when doing, e.g. chicken-install numbers I get a permission denied: cp: cannot create regular file ‘/usr/lib64/chicken/6/numbers.so’: Permission denied I could run chicken-install with sudo but I do want to have only stuff in /usr/lib64 which is installed by using the system's package manager. Question: Could I point chicken to a directory in $HOME where my egg installations could go to? -- Manfred ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Great. This is what I was looking for. Thanks a lot. However, there is one problem with this method (I think--it's been several years since I tried to do this). A few eggs install executables, and even if you change the repository path, chicken-install will still try to place them under the same prefix where chicken itself is located (presumably /usr/bin in your case). I don't know of a solution to this problem. I also like to keep non-package-manager files out of the /usr hierarchy, but this is a case where I cheat. But maybe there is some hack that will trick chicken-install into placing the executables somewhere else. If so, I'd like to know too. -- Matt Gushee ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

If currently not possible perhaps chicken-install could be enhanced to be able to place executables somewhere else. -- Manfred ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Hi! * Manfred Lotz manfred.l...@arcor.de [140615 19:16]: I fully agree. This would be important to have. If currently not possible perhaps chicken-install could be enhanced to be able to place executables somewhere else. I have been installing chicken for years now locally only. For this I do have a subdirectory ~/chickens which contain the full chicken tree of each version (4.8.0.5 / 4.9.0.1 / master / etc) installed there with the PREFIX set to ~/chickens/whatever while building. To access a particular version I do have a symling in the chickens directory use-this which points to the corresponding version. My PATH includes ~/chickens/use-this/bin and I use chicken-select to switch between versions. chicken-install just works fine with this kind of setup. It is easy, no hassle to set up additional environment variables and it works just fine. Maybe that's also a valid option for you? Kind regards, Christian P.S.: You can find chicken-select in the chicken-belt egg. -- May you be peaceful, may you live in safety, may you be free from suffering, and may you live with ease. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

I agree that if a mix of package installation and local eggs won't work then a local installation of chicken would be an option. -- Manfred ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
