Thanks very much. It has installed without problems on Debian "unstable". Now I can install more eggs!

Re: [Chicken-users] New user; egg problems
Thanks for your replies regarding this. I've just managed to install easyffi by removing the -G option from easyffi.setup. But it looks like I'll have to have a go at self-compilation. Being a Debian user I'm extremely unused to this sort of thing. Wish me luck ;-) On Thursday 07 December 2006 18:15, Mario Domenech Goulart wrote: > Hello Ivan, > > On Thu, 07 Dec 2006 13:04:57 -0500 Ivan Raikov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >I think even the most simple kind of Chicken/egg versioning would > > go a long way.

[Chicken-users] New user; egg problems
Hello CHICKEN users, I'm new both to chicken scheme and, in fact, to scheme itself. I was attracted to chicken as soon as I saw that it had a very simple module management system. I have experienced a few problems with installing some of the eggs though. It seems that two important eggs (i.e. ones with quite a few dependents) won't install correctly: easyffi and base64. aquila:/home/richard# chicken-setup easyffi /usr/bin/csc -feature compiling-extension -s -O2 -d0 easyffi.scm -G csc: invalid option `-G' make: Failed to make easyffi.so: shell invocation failed with non-zero return status Error: shell invocation failed with non-zero return status "/usr/bin/csc -feature compiling-extension -s -O2 -d0 easyffi.scm -G" 64 and aquila:/home/richard# chicken-setup base64 /usr/bin/csc -feature compiling-extension -s -O2 -d1 base64.scm -emit-exports base64.exports csc: invalid option `-emit-exports' Error: shell invocation failed with non-zero return status "/usr/bin/csc -feature compiling-extension -s -O2 -d1 base64.scm -emit-exports ... 64 My system is Debian "unstable" with chicken 2.3 I hope its just something really simple! Also, I notice that it leaves the egg file and an associated directory in the directory where I run chicken-setup. Is it alright to delete these afterwards? (BTW, my jabber id predates not only my decision to try chicken scheme but also my awareness of its existence!)
