Re: [MIT-Scheme-users] Instalation in /usr fails

[Paulo Jorge de Oliveira Cantante de Matos]

Ufff, sorry for bothering again. But finally I have some good news.
There is a gentoo package installer (ebuild) for MITScheme 7.7.1 binary
version, which is great. It can be found in my homepage:
http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~pocm/scheme-bin-7.7.1.ebuild

It'll be reviewed by Gentoo developers I hope, so there might be small
changes but it's good news anyway. :D

Best regards,

Paulo J Matos
