Running chibi with installing and no support for modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[cocoa]

I want to use Chibi-Scheme to interpret CGI scripts running on a managed hosting web server. 

I built using the command:

make chibi-scheme-static SEXP_USE_DL=0

I do not make install, because I do not have root permissions, only ssh access.  The managed server seems to be running a version of Ubuntu Linux (or maybe Debian?), that does not support modification of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable.

If I run using a command like:

./chibi-scheme-0.5.3/chibi-scheme-static

... I get the message:

ERROR: couldn't find file in module path "init-7.scm"

Please can anyone tell me whether there is a way to build Chibi-Scheme so that it is usable under the described circumstances? 

I guess that the Makefile could be modified to use relative search paths via -rpath, but I am not sure about how to accomplish this myself?

You still need to install the init-7.scm in a directory
in the include path to run chibi-scheme-static. You
can do a local install with:

make PREFIX=$HOME/local install

Otherwise you need a custom executable which
will load an initial environment by some other
means.

The next release will also support building a static
executable with no external file dependencies.

Coolness.

Thanks Alex, that is excellent news! I'm looking forward to the next release! ;)

Same error was given when I install chibi-scheme from Arch's AUR.

Is there any solution?

This should just work, but I'm not familiar with Arch.

Is the file actually installed?

BTW, you can figure out the module path compiled into chibi with:

  strace chibi-scheme -q -p'(find-module-file"xyzzy")' 2>&1 | grep xyzzy

(substitute "sudo dtruss" for "strace" on OS X)
