Re: [Chicken-users] egg upgrading

[Zbigniew]

Also note: when installing from disk, chicken-setup will not reorder
installation to satisfy dependencies.  Therefore, you should install,
for example, syntax-case and regex-case first, as they are required
for compilation of certain extensions.  This is also true for certain
syntax extensions such as "synch" -- it is required by sqlite3, but if
it is not installed before sqlite3, chicken will incorrectly compile
the synch macros as procedure calls.

The bottom line is that "chicken-setup *.egg" is unlikely to work and
you will have to manually reorder the eggs.  Ultimately, it might be
worth it to extend chicken-setup to look for required eggs on disk
(possibly only from the set given on the command line).  I might look
into this as I've been installing eggs from SVN and encountered this
issue a couple times.
