Move confusing Racket and Guile stuff to another file
I separated the file and added a placeholder for some ubuntu stuff.

# 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.

While I'm sure there is someone who will give us the details on doing this in emacs on an Ubuntu install, I'm going to focus on doing it on Mac OS X.
