Many thanks for the pointer, Patrick. I now have mzscheme installed :)

Then it should be easier to use:

suse11# webpin -bash: webpin: command not found

suse11# smart install webpin ... error 'webpin' matches no packages

I guess it depends somewhat on one using the space between their ears. Why would you expect smart to be able to locate a utility that smart does not have the repository configured. 10:27 wahoo:~ > webpin -d 10.3 webpin Query URL: http://api.opensuse-community.org/searchservice/Search/Simple/openSUSE_103/w... 2 results (1 packages) found for "webpin" in openSUSE_103 * webpin: Command-Line Client for the openSUSE Package Search Web Service installed: webpin-0.9.0-1.1 [x86_64] - 0.9.0 [BS::openSUSE:/Tools{src}] (SAME) @ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/openSUSE_10.3 >> /usr/bin/webpin Maybe adding the repository will help remove your negative approach. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I wouldn't, but I would expect something as important as you claimed it to be to be located in a default repository.

Can anyone recommend a scheme package that works with opensuse?

Bob,

DrScheme is fabulous, especially if you're new to Scheme or Lisp in general.

I found a package for it in the home:mvyskocil/openSUSE_10.3 repository via the build service search page. There are several other Scheme packages there, too.

Thanks Randall, I am indeed new to Scheme, and pretty much a newbie as far as any programmining goes, but I'm prepared to give it a go. Trouble is there's so much to learn - bash scripting, perl, C, HTML, and now scheme - at least I can say "Hello World" in all of them ;) As I've got mzscheme installed now, I'm going to work through 'Teach Yourself Scheme in Fixnum Days' and see how far I get. When I get stuck, I'll follow your link to DrScheme. As I said, the purpose of this is to see if I can write some reports for GnuCash.

I didn't try to describe DrScheme, since in all likelihood I don't know enough about it to do it justice, but I do know that it's expressly intended for learning Scheme.

One of its very cool features is the ability to dynamically illustrate in the on-screen source display the relationship between definitions of and references to variables, functions and macros.

DrScheme is a "facade" / front-end that works with various Scheme interpreters on the back end. I believe MzScheme is one of the Schemes supported by DrScheme, so you should be able to just install DrScheme and configure it for MzScheme. At least I think that would work. I chose PLT for my experiments, 'cause that was one that came along from the home:mvyskocil repository.

Oh yes! DrScheme has another pupil. I like it. Language set to 'Beginning Student' and off we go :) -- Bob Registered Linux User #463880 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default, KDE 3.5.9 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Bob,

if you will have any problem with these packages, please tell me about that. I've decided to learn Scheme half a year ago, but I've switched back to Python (yes, I'm lazy :-)), so these packages are only one usefull result of my Scheming period :).

Best Regards Michal Vyskocil

Hi Michal, So far, so good, but there's still a way to go (for me!). Many thanks for making the scheme packages available.
