Hello, everyone.

I am trying to write a quasi coursework solution for SICP with org and
Chibi-scheme. Unfortunately, chibi is not very well supported in geiser
(although some evaluation features work), so I am having the following
difficulties with the following code:

#+BEGIN_SRC scheme :export both :results output :session
(import (scheme small))
(display "Hello 1\n")
t
#+END_SRC

Note that t is not a registered symbol in scheme (should be #t), but is
shows two errors:

1. The buffer "myfile.org chibi REPL" is not killed after the execution
is finished. Maybe ob-scheme tries to run some internal exit function in
the interpreter, which fails, or whatever, but I am left with a dangling
buffer. (Maybe line 184 in ob-scheme.el, kill-buffer is not doing its job?)

2. In this case, org-babel-scheme-execute-with-geiser returns nil. This
is wrong, because org-babel-reassemble-table does not expect nil as an
input. Moreover, since all of this is not exception-handled, it turns
out into a silent error.

3. In this case, the output of the interpreter is "ERROR: undefined
variable: t", printed to stderr. Geiser processes this by forwarding
back the (error . "<...> error output") cons cell, but org doesn't seem
to be using this. I mean, if I change :results to be "value", I am
getting the exception message into the org buffer, but I suspect that is
should also be displayed when ":results output" since that is what the
interpreter is actually printing.

4. Is there some legitimate way to get all three output channels of a
block of code together? By "all three" I mean, "STDOUT", "STDERR" and
the expression return value?

Cheers, everyone, thanks for your work!

Hi Vladimir,

> shows two errors:

Below the quoted text are... 4 errors, one of which has been fixed
recently IIRC.  Don't hesitate to tell more about remaining problems,
preferrably one per report.

Thanks!
