[Chicken-users] repository pathname, location and customisation, lib64

[Marco Maggi]

Ciao,

  I would  really like to customise  the location of the  installed eggs
for  my  Slackware64 on  a  x86_64-pc-linux-gnu  running Chicken  5.0.0.
First I go to the Wiki[1] and try this:

$ csi -p "(repository-path)"

Error: unbound variable: repository-path

        Call history:

        <syntax>          (##core#begin (##core#require library scheme#) 
(##core#require library chicken.base#) (##core#requir...
        <syntax>          (##core#require library scheme#)
        <syntax>          (##sys#load-library (##core#quote library))
        <syntax>          (##core#quote library)
        <syntax>          (##core#require library chicken.base#)
        <syntax>          (##sys#load-library (##core#quote library))
        <syntax>          (##core#quote library)
        <syntax>          (##core#begin (##core#require expand chicken.syntax#))
        <syntax>          (##core#require expand chicken.syntax#)
        <syntax>          (##sys#load-library (##core#quote expand))
        <syntax>          (##core#quote expand)
        <eval>    (##sys#load-library (##core#quote library))
        <eval>    (##sys#load-library (##core#quote library))
        <eval>    (##sys#load-library (##core#quote expand))
        <syntax>          (repository-path)
        <eval>    (repository-path)     <--

but   I  read,   and  see   on  my   system,  that   the  directory   is
"${prefix}/lib/chicken/9".

  Under  Slackware 32-bit  the  libraries'  directory is  "$prefix/lib",
while   under    Slackware   64-bit   the   libraries'    directory   is
"$prefix/lib64".  On a  64-bit platform: it is possible  to install both
32-bit  and   64-bit  packages  and   their  files  go   into  different
installation  directories.  It  is  not right  to  put everything  under
"lib", I would like to use "lib64".

  Searching the Wiki, the bugs database and the mailing list archive: it
seems that this  is not currently supported?  But in  some old messages,
someone *is* using "lib64"...

TIA
