Useful page for running SCHEME (from Iowa State)

[Stephen Tse]

Here's a link to a useful page on running Scheme.

http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~leavens/ui54/WWW/scheme.shtml

Coincidentally, Iowa State University runs almost the exact same "scm" was
we do, so its helpful. Its quite visual with plenty of screen shots.

The most important thing I got out of it is the follow:

If you get the following error
(stuff before) ERROR: list: end of file in (stuff after)

It means you forgot a closing bracket somewhere. Why they don't say that
out right, I don't know. But hopefully you'll avoid the frustration I just
experienced.

Because when the file is parsed into tokens, the grammar discoveres an end
of file token that doesn't belong where it is. Thus it says I found ``end
of file in'' [this expression] I was parsing. It can also happen inside a
string (Scheme allows multi-line literals).
