[Jacal-discuss] Problem to run Jacal

[A. Arias]

Hi, I trying to run jacal but I have some problems. First with GNU
MIT/Scheme I get the error:

address@hidden:~$ jacal
scheme -load /usr/local/lib/slib/mitscheme.init
-load /usr/local/lib/jacal/go
MIT/GNU Scheme running under GNU/Linux
Type `^C' (control-C) followed by `H' to obtain information about

The file "/usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-i386/slibcat" isn't present on
MIT/Scheme 9.1.1.

With guile 2.0.7 I get the error:

address@hidden:~$ jacal guile

Some deprecated features have been used.  Set the environment
variable GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED to "detailed" and rerun the
program to get more information.  Set it to "no" to suppress
this message.

All those files (require, math, toploads, ...) are present, but for some
reason can't be loaded. I don't have too much experience with scheme. So
maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I didn't compile those files. As far as I understand, guile compile
these files on the fly. Or maybe I need do these first?

Any advice?. Thanks.
