No, I haven't installed one. I hadn't realized that Edwin was using it in the past on older versions of MacOS. Apparently, new versions of Mac don't come with an X11 server. I installed XQuartz, and double-clicking the MIT/GNU Scheme icon in Applications (even after renaming the icon to

Mohamed, Just be aware that on the Mac I get mit-scheme processes that are long running and start consuming a lot of cpu and overheating the computer. Killing them in Emacs or with Activity Monitor solves that for me. Best, Aaron On Mon, Jun 12, 2017 at 6:12 PM, Aaron S. Hawley

Mohamed, I'm able to start the MIT-GNU Scheme on a Mac from Emacs and use it by adding this to my .emacs file: (add-to-list 'exec-path "/Applications/MIT:GNU Scheme.app/Contents/Resources") (eval-after-load 'scheme '(setq scheme-program-name "mit-scheme")) I don't get far launching from
