How to set up your account on popov

You'll want the following directories at the start of your path on popov.math.purdue.edu: The Gambit-C compiler (gsc) and interpreter (gsi) are in /usr/local/bin.  There's also gsc++ and gsi++ in /usr/local/bin; these versions automatically load a compiled version of Meroon located at /usr/local/share/gambc/_meroon.o1.  A "safe" compiled version of Meroon that runs (much) more slowly but which will not crash Gambit-C if there is an error is located at /usr/local/share/gambc/safe_meroon.ol.

You'll need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to /usr/local/lib.

It's easiest to use the gambit debugger with emacs.  Add the following lines to the beginning of your .emacs file:

(setq load-path
      (append (list "/home/c/lucier/EMACS")
              load-path))
(setq scheme-program-name "gsi -:t")
(setq gambit-repl-command-prefix "\e") ; if you want M-c, M-s, etc
(require 'gambit)

If you start gsi with the run-scheme command in emacs, then you'll have to load Meroon by hand.
