Hi, I think I understood how chicken-install works. I'll try to summarize this in the wiki, but I'd like to make sure I got it right: * To install eggs in a location different from /usr/local (or wherever Chicken was installed), I need to pass "-p" to chicken-install. There is no environment variable to control this. I should point it to "my_rep"; * To *use* the new repository, I need to set up CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH and CHICKEN_REPOSITORY. These should point to "my_rep/lib/chicken/5/" Is that right?
I think it is, yes.
What is the difference between CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH and CHICKEN_REPOSITORY?
CHICKEN_REPOSITORY is the place where extensions are to be loaded from for all chicken-based programs (which includes all the tools). CHICKEN_INCLUDE_PATH is where to look for files referenced via "(include FILENAME)". This path is different for hysterical raisins. Note that only one of these two locations usually contains platform-dependent binaries (the repository). cheers, felix
