Musings of a Software Engineering Student

Due to AppArmor support in the latest versions of the Ubuntu kernel, MIT-Scheme fails to work if the default install is used. To install and run MIT-Scheme on your Ubuntu machine, perform the following steps:

• Download the source from here.
• Unpack the .tar.gz file using:

  tar xzf mit-scheme-c-20090107.tar.gz
  

• cd into the src directory of the unpacked folder
• Build and install the package using the following commands:

  etc/make-liarc.sh
  make install
  

After you do this, you still need to configure the minimum mmap address:

sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0

If you want to make this permanent instead of just until you restart your machine, edit your /etc/sysctl.conf file to add this binding.
