That's an old problem... kinda surprised it's still there.
I know there was discussion of it on the list (I checked the archives). This was in a download of snow-generic from the main download page. Is there a VC repository somewhere?
2 things.
- It's "srfi1", not "srfi-1". However, it should simply reply with
"Snowfort does not contain package srfi-1."
Martin@Deimos $ snowman install srfi-1 Snowfort does not contain package srfi-1.
(the above is using mzscheme)
Yeah, I get exactly the same message when I try any snowman command. I just tried it with those environment variables, and I get the same thing.
- I get the same error you did when I try 'env SNOW_HOST=gambit
snowman install srfi-1' or 'env SNOW_HOST=gambit snowman install srfi1'. gsi is also in my $PATH.
It would seem the immediate solution is to try a different Scheme implementation for the time being until someone more knowledgeable responds.
I'd love to take your suggestion, but I'm hooked on Gambit ;)
Here's what happens if I try guile: ,---- | | /home/joel/lisp/scm/.snow: Zshell> SNOW_HOST=guile snowman install srfi1 | ERROR: In procedure scm_lreadr: | ERROR: #<unknown port>:5:220: illegal character in escape sequence: #\3 `----
