RE: cicken-install woes
I just re-installed chicken-5.3.0 from source using the link Mario provided. No problems encountered. However: chicken-install this building this installing this install: cannot create regular file '/home/dnormandin/local/chicken-5.3.0/lib/chicken/11/this.o': Permission denied Error: shell command terminated with nonzero exit code 256 "sh /home/dnormandin/.cache/chicken-install/this/this.install.sh" I'm using `zsh' as my default shell. Could this be causing all this problem? TIA ... -- Duke

I discovered all of that already! But WHY change from csc and csi to csc5 and csi5? So next next Chicken upgrade will be csc6 and csi6? Why this complication? Thanks for your input! -- Duke
freeBSD chicken port
Hi all .. Just installed freeBSD on an old AMD Athlon box. My first *nix love works like a hot damn. :) Installed freeBSD pkg Chicken5-5.2.0 - no problems. However, getting it run afterwards took me 1/2 hour. I tried: chicken; man 1 chicken; csi; man 1 csi; csc etc etc NO JOY! Until out of frustration, I tried chicken5; csi5; man 1 csi5 etc JOY!! I was lucky to trip over that solution! Can that be fixed for the next poor slob that tries to run Chicken on freeBSD? I take it that there is a new freeBSD Chicken port maintainer? Thanks! -- Duke

I'll see what I do have for a toolchain and go from there. Much obliged! -- Duke

I'm rusty with 'apt' utility. I want to update my /etc/apt/sources.list I'm NOT winning because I'm not using the correct URL. Would you please give me a clue.

Using Windoze Powershell, the following worked: Get-Content .\quickrep.dat | csi -ss quickrep.scm 'a.*c' A ?xyzAghi Agh foonly The traditional `<' redirection operator was nuked in favor of a new "Get-Content" cdmlet. :( Haven't tried to get the scheme script working on plain cmd shell.

Thank you for outlining the possible issue and the test case. If I had ANY brains at all, I would go back to a BSD or Linux box. LOL BTW, I am not a professional programmer! Just an old (74 yrs) amateur hacker wanting to learn a new language in an effort to keep the "little grey cells" functioning as normally as possible. :-D. Thanks again! -- Duke Alberta, Canada

Good to know! Thanks. Those "old" docs in all languages get me everytime! Thanks for the links! I'm sure that it will help! -- Duke

I'll give it another shot using "import" now that I know better. I also had an issue with installing Chicken. To whom should I address the hiccup to? Thanks again! -- Duke
Noob needs current tutorial please
Hello & Happy New Year! I'm new to Chicken Scheme. I've got some exposure to newLISP and Gambit-C. I'm continueing my test-drive of Chicken because it produced the smallest executable for helloworld.scm. However, I'm having a bitch of a time finding a tutorial with example code that is current to the most recent version of Chicken. For example: at http://wiki.call-cc.org/friendly-chicken one of the examples is: #;1> (use utf8) It barfs up: Error: unbound variable: use Call history: (use utf8) (use utf8)<-- and the list goes on! Any recent tutorials for Chicken out there? TIA .. -- Duke
