Trying to run arc on leopard...

I just cannot seem to get a proper Arc setup on Mac OS X leopard, please share your setup!

I'm just using the Anarki (http://github.com/nex3/arc/tree/master): `git clone git://github.com/nex3/arc.git` and `git pull` (to update) should do it. See http://arclanguage.org/item?id=4951 for more details.

You'll also need mzscheme in your path; just download it from http://www.plt-scheme.org (v372 will work), and make sure you add the directory containing the binary to your PATH variable (`export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/the/directory/containing/the/mzscheme/binary"`).

I think that's everything, but I already had a highly customized setup. Feel free to ask any other further questions, but error messages/problems encountered would be helpful in those cases.

If you have macports (and you should!) you can do this:

$ macports install mzscheme

That'll get mzscheme running. Then I downloaded the latest anarki from github (http://github.com/nex3/arc/tarball/master) I untarred it and renamed it to "arc". Then I went back to my shell.

$ chmod -R root arc/ $ mv arc /usr/local/ $ ln -s /usr/local/arc/arc.sh /usr/local/bin/arc

Now from any command line, you can just run $ arc

And you'll get your arc prompt!

It seems my problem is related to PATH, i compiled and installed macports but cannot add to PATH, same with mzscheme, keep getting command not found, even when i do /path/to/mzscheme/mzscheme. I add the PATH to my usr/bin/.bash_profile but still got the same error.

You need to change ~/.bash_profile , not /usr/bin/.bash_profile. If that still doesn't work, post what you have and I'll try to help.
