% snowman download predicate-calculus
predicate-calculus/v1.0.0/snow/predicate-calculus.scm -- signature file is missing!
Package predicate-calculus/v1.0.0 failed verification.
% snowman download --skip-verify predicate-calculus
Package predicate-calculus/v1.0.0 downloaded to "predicate-calculus-v1_0_0.tgz".
% tar xzvf predicate-calculus-v1_0_0.tgz
x predicate-calculus/v1.0.0/
x predicate-calculus/v1.0.0/snow/
x predicate-calculus/v1.0.0/snow/predicate-calculus.scm

Looks like it works perfectly here...

Possible solutions to your problem:
- try as a non root user
- double check your DNS
- install with curl instead of snowman
- install with website instead of snowman
- buy a new ethernet wire


By the way, a few comments about your code (not that mine is perfect
though...) if you don't mind:
- use the <Return> key to insert newlines in your code !
- Don't redefine CAR, CDR, CADR, CDAR, CAAAR, CAADR, CADAR, CADDR...
  All of those *are* supported by *all* scheme hosts...
- Don't redefine MAP, etc. Load SRFI-1 instead.
- Do not close a parenthesis per line (in most cases)
- Don't nest a dozen of IFs, use COND or CASE


P!

Note to the others on the mailing list: where are *your* snowballs?
Note2 to everyone: aren't this mail and its reference supposed to be on
the Snow list instead of the Gambit one?
Cross-posting for this reason.
