[Chicken-users] error configuring readline history for .csirc as per documentation

[Joe Python]

The link (
http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/3/Using%20the%20interpreter#history-access)
mentions the following procedure for using history with csi.

(use readline regex)
(current-input-port (make-gnu-readline-port))
(gnu-history-install-file-manager
  (string-append (or (getenv "HOME") ".") "/.csi.history"))


However i get an error:

$ csi

The R5RS spec itself is actually pretty accessible.
"Learn Scheme in Fixnum Days" is also quite good.

There are some DuckDuckGo shortcuts (https://duckduckgo.com/ ) !csc and
!csw which look up the search term in the Chicken Scheme Chickadee and
Wiki respectively. Just type the short code and then your search term in
to the search box at http://duckduckgo.com/ .

Chickadee (http://api.call-cc.org/ ) allows you to search the APIs for
CHICKEN and its Eggs.

No worries! Welcome to the community.

Hi Federico and welcome to the CHICKEN community!

I've just got a small note on your build setup. Most CHICKEN projects use a
.setup-file and then build with chicken-install. There should be a thousand
examples of setup-files (here's
 a small
one, and here's
 a
large one). Setup-files and chicken-install do tend to clobber your project
folder with binary files as well as installing things in /usr. If you can
live with that, it's nice in that it integrates in the other CHICKEN tools
(like cross-compiling and salmonella).

Cheers!
K.
