I have just been reading about JACAL, a symbolic mathematics system, written under scheme. I found its web page at
http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/JACAL.html It is GNU licenced, but there doesn't seem to be a debian package for it. Anyway, I was interested in trying it out, so I downloaded it. It says it needs "SLIB" installed in order to run it --- in fact, SLIB was written by the same guy who wrote JACAL. I noticed that SLIB is in fact packaged for Debian, so that was fine. The next thing is to find an implementation of scheme. I know very little about scheme, or which scheme to used. I saw that "rscheme" was a package so I tried installing that. But I didn't know how to get SLIB initialized with it. There seem also to be other versions of scheme such as "guile" and more. Could someone give me some clues as to which version of scheme I should use, and how I should get it to use SLIB?
