Re: [Chicken-users] Error compiling on AMD64 linux machine

[Richard Hollos]

I just wanted to conclude this thread by summarizing the solutions to 2
problems I had.

Problem #1
With:
make PLATFORM=linux install
I got the following error:
"Error: (require) cannot load core library: chicken-ffi-syntax"
Note that this problem occurred in attempting to install the release
version 4.6.0, and the error was eliminated with the use of a bootstrap
compiler in the following steps:
In /usr/local/src/chicken-4.6.0/ did:
wget http://code.call-cc.org/bootstrap/chicken-boot-4.3.7-linux-x86.bz2
Ran bunzip2 on it, then ran as regular user:
make PLATFORM=linux CHICKEN=./chicken-boot-4.3.7-linux-x86 boot-chicken
make PLATFORM=linux CHICKEN=./chicken-boot
Now, as root, installed with the command:
make PLATFORM=linux CHICKEN=./chicken-boot install

Problem #2
Running Moritz Heidkamp's "hyde" in 
Christian Kellerman's hyde-blog downloaded from 
http://github.com/ckeen/hyde-blog
I got the error:
"Error: (load-library) unable to load library posix"
This error was eliminated by changing the first line in hyde.scm, of the
hyde-blog directory, from:
(use hyde hyde-atom environments posix srfi-1)
to:
(use hyde environments)
With this change, the command "hyde" translates and outputs with no errors.

Many thanks to Christian and Felix for their help.
