   I've been installing MIT-Scheme in /usr/local and everything seems to go
   fine but I'm using Gentoo GNU/Linux Distro and I'm building an ebuild
   for automatic package instalation under Gentoo. Instalation is being
   done under /usr. When I try to run scheme I get:
   euler root # scheme
   scheme: can't find a readable default for option -band.
           searched for file runtime.com in these directories:
           /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme

   Inconsistency detected.
   euler root # which scheme
   /usr/bin/scheme

   Any idea why this happens? What can I do for it to work?

MIT Scheme is normally compiled to look for its subsidiary files in
the directory "/usr/local/lib/mit-scheme/".  Unless you recompile the
C code ("microcode"), you will have to do one of two things:

1. Make a symlink pointing from "/usr/local/lib/mit-scheme/" to
   "/usr/lib/mit-scheme/".

2. Invoke scheme with the "-library /usr/lib/mit-scheme" command-line
   option.
