CS 3304 Scheme Resources

SUGGESTED STEPS FOR GETTING SCHEME

  1. Follow the link MIT Scheme 7.4 Downloads

  2. Choose an appropriate operating system. Mr. Rao chose Microsoft Windows main binaries; you might choose Linux main binaries. The remaining instructions are for the Windows install. The instructor or the GTA can help with the Linux install during office hours.

  3. Save it to the temporary folder (C:\Temp).

  4. Unzip win32bin.zip in the temporary folder (C:\Temp).

  5. Open Readme.txt, follow the procedure under the section: Windows Installation Procedure. You may skip Optional system configuration.

  6. Download bmi.scm.

  7. Launch the program SCHEME.EXE in the bin folder.

  8. At the scheme prompt, type in '(load "bmi")' --- without the single quotes. Please include bmi in double quotes.

  9. If you receive the output:
    ; Loading "bmi.scm" - done
    ;Value: main
    
    then the installtion is successful.

  10. Send email to heath@cs.vt.edu if you find errors in this procedure or if you have serious difficulty installing Scheme by this procedure. You may prefer to see the instructor or the GTA during office hours.
