Ahem. You might need to brew install libyaml or something like that. Or did you do that and it still fails?

Maybe we could teach gxpkg about such external dependencies after it autodetects the surrounding operating system and/or distribution, but that would be quite some work.

Also, your gsc is pointing to GhostScript instead of the Gambit Scheme Compiler. Try to adjust your PATH and/or export GERBIL_GSC=.../path/bin/gsc

I thought we detected the GhostScript thing—maybe not well enough.

[vyzo]

It jas beem fixed in master, make's gsc was poi ting to the PATH one.

Should I still do this or does the implemented fix make this unnecessary?

[acturner]

Nevermind, it looks like I accidentally got rid of where I was modifying PATH in my zshrc (as per the docs) - I assume that's all I need to do.

[vyzo]

the implemented fix in mastet should be sufficient, can you rebuild and try again?
