Hi there,

I've spent a couple of frustrating hours trying to install SCM ver.5a1
on my i386, MS-DOS 6.20 machine.

I managed to compile SCMLIT.EXE using Borland C++ 2.0 by creating
my own project file (borland's equivalent to a make) and it even runs.

I finally managed to get it to run my Init.scm file, and even start
loading the require.scm. However the problem then crops up during
the loading of SLIB ver. 2a7. It keeps complaining that:

>>> screen snippet begins <<<
;loading c:\scheme\slib\require

"c:\\scheme\\slib\\require.scm", line 175: ERROR: cdr: Wrong type in arg1 (see e
rrobj)
;Evaluation took 3850 mSec (0 in gc) 5087 cells work, 6918 bytes other
> (display errobj)
(rev4-optional-procedures . sc4opt);Evaluation took 55 mSec (0 in gc) 3 cells wo
rk, 31 bytes other
#<unspecified>
>>> screen snippet ends <<<

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Edward Lam
