# debian-plt(1)

The Debian PLT Setup Utility

## NAME

debian-plt - The Debian PLT Setup Utility

## SYNOPSIS

**debian-plt** \[ *Xflag ...* \] \[ *file ...* \]

## DESCRIPTION

*debian-plt* is the Debian Setup Utility for Rice University's PLT Scheme.

*debian-plt* installs the .plt files given as command-line arguments. It installs the files into the non-root PLT directory (/usr/local/lib/plt on Debian systems) and compiles the source into \*.zo files. This utility should be used by local Debian administrators to install non-dpkg-controlled PLT files under /usr/local/lib/plt. For further information on *MzScheme,* *DrScheme,* or any of its components (such as setup-plt) please  consult the on-line documentation and other information  available at

http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/drscheme/

## FILES

*DrScheme* looks for its libraries using the environment variables PLTHOME and PLTCOLLECTS.  If this variable is not defined, the installation directory is assumed ("/usr/lib/plt/" on Debian systems). See the documentation for details.

Please consult your local administrator to determine whether the on-line documentation has been installed locally.
