I forgot all the details, I was an absolute starter with Elisp and I got stuck sometimes and received help from the org-babel creator Eric Schulte. Of course some language specific details caused problems, but the resulting code was not only a copy with some tiny changes. Maybe you could figure out which parts of ob-scheme don't do what they should and then compare these parts with its counterparts in ob-picolisp - it might give you some ideas for alternative solutions. -- cheers, Thorsten
