Re: [MIT-Scheme-devel] Installing 9.2 OS X Binary on macOS Sierra Macbook air

[Aaron S. Hawley]

Mohamed,

I'm able to start the MIT-GNU Scheme on a Mac from Emacs and use it by adding this to my .emacs file:

(add-to-list 'exec-path "/Applications/MIT:GNU Scheme.app/Contents/Resources")

(eval-after-load 'scheme
  '(setq scheme-program-name "mit-scheme"))

I don't get far launching from Finder, because of a startup error:

$ open /Applications/MIT\:GNU\ Scheme.app/Contents/MacOS/macosx-starter

/Applications/MIT:GNU Scheme.app/Contents/Resources/mit-scheme: can't find a readable default for option --band.

searched for file all.com in these directories:

/Applications/MIT:GNU Scheme.app/Contents/Resources?

/usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-x86-64

Inconsistency detected.

I'm using Sierra 10.12.3

Happy SICP'ing!

Hi folks,

Thanks for your support. I am a in the process of learning GNU Scheme by following SICP and had a quick question regarding installing this software on the latest Macbook air. Namely, I am in the process of buying a new Macbook air which run under macOS Sierra and I was wondering if the Stable Release 9.2 OS X Binary works fine with macOS Sierra, or if there are issues I should be aware off. Thanks a lot for your help! 

Best

Mohamed
