Re: [Chicken-users] Fresh CHICKEN - trouble with readline

[Alexej Magura]

Sorry, only just saw this.  The API changed, hence the major version bump.  I'm certain that I updated the egg's wiki page to at least include the new history file manager install function crap.

Also, you can just put #f for your home directory and it should automatically figure it out.

I just compiled and installed CHICKEN 4.9.0.1 on a virtual machine

Then installed 'libreadline-dev' (apt-get), followed by 'readline' egg
(chicken-install).
Importing readline works just fine in csi (use readline). However, when
trying to add readline to the csi startup[1], csi doesn't start
complaining about "history-install-file-manager" being unbound[2]. I'm
sure '.csi.history' exists and RW by my user.

What am I doing wrong? TIA,

Just for the record, I managed to get around it by calling
"install-history-file" directly:

(use readline irregex)
(current-input-port (make-readline-port))
(install-history-file "/home/bahman" ".csi.history" 1000)
