Christian,
The tarball I used was:
http://code.call-cc.org/releases/4.6.0/chicken-4.6.0.tar.gz
>From the main Chicken page, under the Download heading, I clicked:
"Check http://code.call-cc.org/"
Then I downloaded via the first link on the page: "4.6.0"
Two other things I tried which I didn't mention:
*After getting the error:
"Error: (require) cannot load core library: chicken-ffi-syntax"
I uninstalled with:
make PLATFORM=linux uninstall
Then removed the entire directory that was made by the tarball:
/usr/local/src/chicken-4.6.0/
Then unpacked the tarball again in /usr/local/src
and tried an install again with:
make PLATFORM=linux PREFIX=/usr/local
and as root:
make PLATFORM=linux PREFIX=/usr/local install
This produced the same error.
*I have access to another machine which has identical hardware and operating
system (AMD64, openSUSE 11.1) which also, like mine, has never had Chicken
installed on it. Unpacking the tarball chicken-4.6.0.tar.gz in /usr/local/src
and trying an install with:
make PLATFORM=linux
then as root:
make PLATFORM=linux install
this time without PREFIX specified, I got the same error:
"Error: (require) cannot load core library: chicken-ffi-syntax"
After this, I thought there was something quarky about OpenSUSE that was
causing the error. But it finally dawned on us to get a bootstrap compiler as
described in my last post, and that worked.
Thank you,
Richard
