Hi Matt,

thanks for advice! The files are indeed in /usr/local/lib/chicken/7
I've changed it locally accordingly.

Because we are at it: Where can I get the source-code of the eggs.
The docus are a bit sparse and I would like to learn something from
the eggs.

Peter

PS: Sorry for double posting.

Welcome to the crazy world of Scheme!

    I have set the environment in .tcshrc
         setenv CHICKEN_REPOSITORY $HOME/eggs/lib/chicken/4

    and called:
         chicken-install -init ~/eggs/lib/chicken/4


You should be aware that the number at the end of the path is a 'binary
compatibility version' for eggs, which is independent of the Chicken
compiler version. The current binary version is 7, so the default egg
repo location would be $SYSTEM_LIB_PATH/chicken/7. Here's [a little]
more info:

Given that you are manually setting the repo location, I don't know that
using a different number will cause any problems. But you will need to
change it periodically - I think the egg binary version certainly
changes when the Chicken major version changes, but - given the number
is now 7 - apparently on some other occasions too.
