[Fluxus] drScheme

[gabor papp]

hi Roger,

DrRacket is a bit tricky to use in osx. first you have to set the collects 
path, and include fluxus collects. as i see you have the fluxus ones, but 
not the drRacket ones. from terminal:

export 
PLTCOLLECTS=/Applications/Fluxus.app/Contents/Resources/collects/:/Applications/Racket\ 
v5.2.1/collects/

then you need to open DrRacket from this terminal:
open /Applications/Racket\ v5.2.1/DrRacket.app/

the problem with this is that fluxus won't be able to load its module 
dependencies, because they are rewritten to be loaded from the Fluxus.app. 
since you are not in the Fluxus.app anymore it won't work.

if you compile and install fluxus as a command line binary, not an 
osx application, it will work. (you need to use /opt/local/lib for the 
fluxus collects path above).

another workaround for the problem with the binary osx app is that you 
remove the problematic module, but you won't be able to use fluxus osc then.

if you choose to do this, edit 
Contents/Resources/collects/fluxus-018/fluxus-modules.ss

and comment out the lines with fluxus-osc, like this:
(require
...
   ; "fluxus-osc.ss"
...

(provide
...
  ; (all-from-out "fluxus-osc.ss")
...

on the other hand, i'm not sure how well drflux works nowadays. i don't 
think it has been used very much lately.

best,
gabor
