Hey guys,
I'm trying to install the UC Berkeley variant of Scheme (programming language) on my computer for one of my classes, but it won't work. I'm pretty sure it's because of this note on the instruction page:
For Debian GNU/Linux on a pure64 (amd64) system:
Use a 32-bit computer to 'alien STk-4.0.1-ucb1.3.6.i386.rpm'
On the 64-bit computer, run 'apt-get install ia32-libs'
copy the $STK.deb file from the 32-bit computer to the local amd64, ie:
'scp user@32bHost:~/$STK.deb root@local64bHost:~/.'
On the 64-bit computer, run 'dpkg --force-architecture $STK.deb'
Since I don't have access to a 32-bit computer with Ubuntu, can someone please use Alien to quickly convert the RPM file into a .deb and post it back here?
Link to the RPM file (http://wla.berkeley.edu/~scheme/precompiled/Linux/STk-4.0.1-ucb1.3.6.i386.rpm)
Thank you!
