Hello there Scheme gurus, I am trying to run Gambit-C and using Emacs as the editor, but I can't fugure out how to do it. First of all I am running Solaris 9 on an old Sun box. I have downloaded the Gambit files and the Emacs files, expanded and made both of them. At the beginning I was having some issues with the PATH, but I have that fixed right now. I can use the Gambit Interpreter (gsi) and the compiler (gsc). The problem is, I have to use a separate text editor, to edit the files, and here is where I wan to use Emacs.
What I have right now, is the following structure /export/home/alfonso/MyPrograms/Gambit-C/ and also /export/home/alfonso/MyProgrmas/Emacs/
I also know, that I have this, somewhere else on the hard drive: /usr/local/Gambit-C/
I don't know, how it got there, but there it is. I created an .emacs file, 0n /export/home/alfonso/ which contains the following: (autoload 'gambit-inferior-mode "gambit" "Hook Gambit mode into cmuscheme.") (autoload 'gambit-mode "gambit" "Hool Gambit mode into scheme.") (add-hook 'inferior-scheme-mode-hook (function gambit-inferior-mode)) (add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook (function gambit-mode)) (setq scheme-program-name "gsi -:d-") (setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/Gambit-C/share/emacs/site-lisp" load-path)) (setq scheme-program-name "/tmp/gsi -:d-") (setq gambit-highlight-color "gray") (setq ganbit-repl-command-prefix "-e") (require 'gambit)
When I type emacs, open the editor, but it tell me, there is an error, if I remove the (require 'gambit) line and do 'M-x run-scheme' it tells me there is an error also.
I don't know what I am doing wrong, or what I am missing, please help me to figure out this problem, I know I am pretty close, but no cigar.
If I can't figure this thing out, I will have to go and dowmload PLT scheme, for UNix, and give it a try.
Thanks.
