[Chicken-hackers] problem with (import chicken.fixnum)

[felix . winkelmann]

Hi!

I'm not sure about this, but I try to build a chicken branch, which is rebased
on the current master (d35a74ced9b6fd77d3f988abb52eee9e05eeabeb)

Compiling a file like this

; x.scm:
(import chicken.fixnum)

with

bin/chicken x.scm -include-path .  -ignore-repository  -consult-type-file 
types..db

results in:

Syntax error (import): cannot import from undefined module

        chicken.fixnum

        Expansion history:

bin/chicken is 5.0.0pre5, directly built and installed from the tarball. Using 
a boot-chicken built
from that biunary shows the same error. Dropping "-ignore-repository 
-consult-type-file ./types.db"
Seems to work with bin/chicken, but not with the boot-chicken.

I also noted that csi takes very long time to start up. Is this known?
