How can I install SRFI-19 with Chicken 4.8.0.3? Using sudo chicken-install srfi-19 fails.
After some experimentation, I found I needed to run sudo chicken-install setup-helper first, yet I remain stuck. The output I receive is

This was asked on Stack Overflow and summarily closed. I think it might be on-topic here, but the software the guy is trying to install is a Scheme compiler. It seems like there may be more experts on Stack Overflow for compiler tools though.
If anyone wants to weigh in, here's the discussion:
I noticed that this question was closed as off topic because it is about installing libraries for a compiler/interpreter for a programming language. Unfortunately you have to look at the question's edit history to get the gist of the original question since it has been edited.

@jmort253: its a lot better if we know if the OP wants it moved - since, even if it was on topic, it would be totally orphaned if it was moved without that
@tapped-out with that few bad sectors, you could probably get the OS / filesystem / disk firmware to mark them as bad and keep on truckin, unless it's a sign of more bad sectors to come
a few bad sectors isn't an indication of impending disk failure necessarily, but it could frustrate data recovery efforts
I've found its really the interestingness of the question (or the sheer trainwreck factor of it) that gets it eyeballs. If its a question you REALLY want an answer to, bounty it. Consider SU to be a assistive resource and work on an answer, and update periodically with your findings. In short, write a question that catches eyeballs no matter what, and keep plugging at it as much as you can.

also, I regret I do not have enough frozen passionfruit for another tall glass of that crazyass drink I just had
half a tall glass of water, 2 teaspoons sugar, pinch of salt (whizz with a milk frother until dissolved), top up to about 3/4 full with frozen passionfruit, then hit it will the milk frother until its dissolved.
wasn't until TSRs and later DOS addons that it started to evolve from general purpose bootloader for other OS-programs, to something that stays resident in memory and manages hardware and stuff
@tapped-out there was that question from someone using a pirated and highly customised copy of Windows... customised by someone with no effing idea.. they said somethere they disabled every service o.O
> I really have to say this cos many of my OSs are posted on several websites with out my permission or without crediting me. This is one hella hideous action by the stalkers. Com'on fellas i have sacrificed many things to make this os come alive. REPUTE ME AND MY WORKS!! -- guy distributing a pirated and modded copy of Windows 7
like seriously. It fell off the ugly tree, hit every branch on the way down, then was so ugly the earth spit it back out on impact, then it hit every branch again, and then hit every branch on the way down, repeatedly.

Hello, I saw a question similar to what I've closed on main as not constructive, hence I have decided it ask it out on the chat.
I use Linux on my laptop. I have a 4 GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM and my computer supports upto 8GB (unofficially). My problem is, whenever I am doing a lot of things on my computer, my hard disk is creating a bottleneck and a lot of time is spent "waiting" for my hard disk to finish working. My hard disk is a Seagate ST9500325AS (500GB, 5400 RPM, 8MB Cache). I have two options both of which are going to cost me 200$. The first option is to buy a Intel 520 240GB SSD and t…
@JourneymanGeek I am not very sure of. How do I find it out? Sometimes, when the computer has been up for 4-5 days, my swap is 2GB full, but other time it is almost empty, I will have to profile it. What is happening I think is, till now, I was using very less RAM (like 1-1.5 GB and 2.5 GB was available to cache) and so it was all good.
..
Now I think since the RAM use has increased to 2.5GB-2.8GB, the cache is not effective) and hence I am observing the "waiting". The waiting never happens when using programs, only when switching.
However, if you are continuously switching from a PDF to firefox to emacs, it is not very nice.
@JourneymanGeek Yes, that is true. That is why I was thinking the RAM might be a good option, but I do not know about the latencies of the SSD's.
So, actually, I am considering the third option. Use this computer for maybe 4-5 more months, and then chuck it away and get a new mobile workstation, with 16GB RAM and everything. :P
this is actually a repeat of a question i asked yesterday - but i'm just writing a set of notes on the merits of this practice and its always useful to see what others are doing
so - you have one account that is a member of the domain admin group but you rely entirly on UAC? i'm not mocking this - im just asking, is that what you do?
> When a user attempts to launch an executable file, the new process is created with the minimum of the user integrity level and the file integrity level. This means that the new process will never execute with higher integrity than the executable file. If the administrator user executes a low integrity program, the token for the new process functions with the low integrity level.
> This helps protect a user who launches untrustworthy code from malicious acts performed by that code. The user data, which is at the typical user integrity level, is write-protected against this new process.
> Windows defines four integrity levels: low, medium, high, and system. Standard users receive medium, elevated users receive high. Processes you start and objects you create receive your integrity level (medium or high) or low if the executable file's level is low; system services receive system integrity. Objects that lack an integrity label are treated as medium by the operating system; this prevents low-integrity code from modifying unlabeled objects.
may I go back to why i think you're missing the point though... lets say you have a single account from which you do everything, your day to day stuff and all your admin work. You need to install some software on your workstation...
....you use UAC to elevate your permissions in order to install the software fine. but is it right that the account you are usin to install some software has the ability to basically crush your whole domain?
that doesnt sound like abiding by least priviledge to me
let me go back to my original question and phrase it better - if you manage a windows domain, do you have one acounnt from which you do every single task. or do you have multiple accounts for different tasks?
maybe installing a printer is a bad example. so lets just say any task that requires you to login to a users workstation and do some maintenance. I dont like the idea of using an account that has domain admin privileges.
having a separate admin account for each IT person just for workstation admin tasks, which is separate to the admin account they use for doing AD work (creating users, modifying gpos, etc)
This kind of domain management question might be relevant over at Server Fault, but read their FAQ, and it might fall into the 'not constructive' category (I'm not really familiar with what they accept)
also, IT Security might have some interesting points
this kind of question doesnt work very well on server fault - as its more a debate than a simple q&a. thats why i thought its better being asked in the chat room...
Regarding what @Bob said earlier. We also usually have so called service accounts. Like user accounts that run specific tasks autonomously. Like, for backups. So the user accounts for those tasks have a very limited set of administrative privileges.
@OliverSalzburg If you have webhosting account, would you know how to create weekly automatic backup of certain directory in certain format (TAR or GZ) and send it to Gmail account?
At the office where I work, three of the other members of the IT staff are logged into their computers all the time with accounts that are members of the domain administrators group.
I have serious concerns about being logged in with admin rights (either local or for the domain). As such, for ev...
