If you're on MacOS X...

Here is a pretty awesome article detailing how to get things working for those who don't know:

! IMPORTANT : Make sure to put mit-scheme-20080130-ix86-apple-darwin/lib/mit-scheme/ into /usr/local/lib/ and to point your path variable in .profile to that (not /usr/lib/ as mentioned in the article).

Do you/does anyone have any experience with SICP support in DrScheme with this package: http://www.neilvandyke.org/sicp-plt/ ? Someone claimed to have completed the first three chapters of exercises successfully, so there's that.

@tj Whoops, sorry. The forum isn't using Markdown, it's just Django's urlize filter and plaintext. I can add Markdown support and editing of posts soon. Sorry about that.

Thanks TJ!!! I was able to get Scheme installed on my Mac thanks to your help. One thing though: I got the following error when I copied the mit-scheme folder to /usr/local/lib/:

scheme: can't find a readable default for option --band. searched for file all.com in these directories: /usr/lib/mit-scheme

So I copied it to /usr/lib/ as in the original instructions and it worked fine.

There is a default folder it is looking in. Just put in the proper path the .profile...

Right, I think the issue is just to match your .profile paths with where the mit-scheme folder actually exists.

Glad that link helped, though.
