# emacs and other schemes #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've done some additional playing with some Lisps and wanted to document the effort I went to set those up with emacs on my Mac OS X machine. Again I am using emacs installed with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) and see below for using Geiser with Racket and Guile which are other programming language environments.
|

## Geiser and Racket and Guile setup ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've seen fancy [Clojure](http://clojure.org/) guys connect their emacs process to a REPL on a running JVM process. Using a bunch of technologies that I don't understand like [Leiningen](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen) and [Swank](https://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure/) and [SLIME](http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyway I thought part of the LISP world was connecting to a running LISP REPL, so I did a little hunting and saw that [Geiser](http://www.nongnu.org/geiser/) seems to be a way to do that with a Scheme and it works with a modern language implementing a Scheme plus a whole lot more called [Racket](http://www.racket-lang.org) and another one called [Guile](http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/). So I decided to try and set that up to and document the effort. This way when working through SICP I can use MIT/GNU Scheme for cannonical study, and Racket for *fancy stuff™*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. [Download](http://download.racket-lang.org) and install Version 6.0 of Racket for Mac OS X 64 bit. Put the Racket directory under /Applications and rename it to remove the space.
|
||
|
|
2. Install Guile 2.0.9 because Geiser docs say it supports multiple REPLs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
brew update
|
||
|
|
brew install guile --devel
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Install Geiser using it's [ELPA](http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ELPA) package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
M-x package-install RET geiser RET
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Update .emacs to tell geiser where Racket is, this line should go after the package system loading happens which will load geiser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(setq geiser-racket-binary "/Applications/Racket/bin/racket")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Now I can run racket by doing `M-x run-racket` or `M-x run-geiser RET racket RET`
|
||
|
|
6. Or I can do Guile by doing `M-x run-guile` or `M-x run-geiser RET guile RET`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Connect to an already running Racket ###
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Start Racket using this command so the search path includes the Racket server stuff in geiser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
racket -i -S "/Users/mcallist/.emacs.d/elpa/geiser-0.4/racket"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. run this in your racket REPL:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(require geiser/server)
|
||
|
|
(start-geiser 8000 "127.0.0.1")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. In emacs run `M-x connect-to-racket RET localhost RET 8000 RET`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Connect to an already running guile ###
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Start guile using this commmand
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
guile --listen
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. In emacs `M-x connect-to-guile` and the default guile port is 37146
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently this bombs out using guile 2.0.11 on my Mac using geiser-0.4. So I suspect some sort of conflict or mismatch, but I'm not troubleshooting it at the moment.
