Huzzah! I got the path working! (Also, Carrots and Sticks, 2009/04/03)

Carrots: 8
Sticks: 0

Originally, my plan was to go up to CT tonight, then drive to NJ tomorrow morning.  The weather was disgusting today, though, and I was not in the mood for travel...instead, I started getting productive at the computer so I decided to drop the "go to CT" plan.


One of the things that has been tripping me up on learning Scheme is that I couldn't get my shell to recognize the path to where the Scheme executables were stored.  As a result, i couldn't use tab completion (an annoyance, but livable), but I also couldn't use the "load packages" commands (a show stopper).  Today, I got it working, huzzah!

Here's the weird thing:  apparently the answer consisted merely of shutting down Emacs, then shutting down Terminal, then starting them both back up so that everything got initialized properly.  *sigh*  I had been digging deep into the black voodoo of Bash Completion programming, and all it took was rebooting the shell.  grr.
