Yup, same here. |

I just saw your mail on racket-dev. I was too lazy to do that - thanks :) |

Hmm, not sure. I had a quick look at patch 049 (which updated from plt-scheme |
| 36 |
to racket) but didn't see anything obvious. There are other issues with how |
| 37 |
racket is embedded. For example, the scheme snippet in configure, which detects |
| 38 |
what racket's install prefix is, doesn't work. Its missing the '#lang scheme' |
| 39 |
or a (module ...) form (I'll mention that to upstream). |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Thats easily handled by my vim.eclass by bypassing this detection of racket's |
| 42 |
prefix, by passing "--with-plthome=/usr/". |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
One quick way of fixing the mzscheme problem from our end (for now), would be |
| 45 |
for the racket ebuild to just replace the mzscheme binary with a symlink to |
| 46 |
racket, and install that. In keeping with the gentoo spirit of quick local |
| 47 |
fixes while waiting for upstream to fix the problem :) |
