new snapshot

Item posted by Chris Hanson <cph> on Thu 08 Feb 2007 05:22:45 AM UTC.

Another new snapshot, 20070205, is now available.

This is the first version of MIT/GNU Scheme to support the Mac, albeit just the new Intel Macs.

I previously stated that this snapshot would have support for the C back end -- I lied. This snapshot was pushed out because it's the beginning of term here at MIT and we need a sync point. The C back end is almost ready for release -- Taylor's working on it -- but it's still a few weeks off. When it's finished we'll release another snapshot.

Installing MIT/GNU Scheme on Intel Imac (posted by Gerry Anderson, Fri 09 Feb 2007 02:24:30 AM UTC)

Was pleased to finally see a version of MIT Scheme for the Intel Mac. Followed the directions and tried to install it using the terminal commands and got message

gerald-andersons-computer:/usr/local geraldanderson$ gzip -cd mit-scheme-7.7.1-ix86-gnu-linux.tar.gz | tar xvf -
gzip: mit-scheme-7.7.1-ix86-gnu-linux.tar.gz: No such file or directory

Got same result with both the mit-scheme-20070205-ix86-apple-darwin.tar-1.gz and
mit-scheme-7.7.1-ix86-gnu-linux.tar.gz
versions.

Any clues on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

You should direct these questions to the mit-scheme-users mailing list, for future reference. It was purely by coincidence that I stumbled across this comment while randomly browsing Savannah's features...

In any case, 7.7.1 is not supported on Intel Macs, and it's too old to be of much use anyhow. You need to get the most recent snapshot, and untar that. On OS X, the tarball will be named mit-scheme-20070205-ix86-apple-darwin.tar.gz. I'll go fix the documentation, however.
