I tried installing ipoe on windows 10. I ran into problems with libedit-3
here is an error message I get when trying to run anything with #lang ipoe at the top
ffi-lib: couldn't open "libedit-3.dll" (The specified module could not be found.; errno=126)
thanks!

Understood! Thanks for reporting.

Which version of Racket are you using?

Thanks for getting back quickly, I am using v6.2.900.17

Okay, I think it's readline's fault! I was able to install the wo-readline branch of ipoe through Dr.Racket (6.3.1).

Looking into compile-time solutions for skipping readline if it's not available...

Ok, you should be able to install ipoe through master now.

Thank you!

Hmm, I'm not sure you can right now (unless there's a way to run a custom "raco ..." command).

I think I could update the REPL environment to have the commands available after an ipoe program is loaded. I'll try that soon.

(Maybe I'll just make the REPL into the same thing you'd get after running raco ipoe db on the command line. So you can

> (add-word "foo")
Attempting to add new word 'foo' to the database
...

Now that I think about it, I'd also want this to happen:

> "hello"
"hello" has 2 syllables 
> "racket"
Unknown word "racket"

)

Thanks, I'm pretty busy right now, tell me if you ever look into that

Things are a little better now. When you run in Dr. Racket, you should see:

Finished checking poem. ...
Type '(connect)' to open a connection to the iPoe database
>

After connecting, the repl prompt changes & you can type "help" to see a list of database commands. Someday I'd like smoother integration, but I need to learn more about Dr. Racket first (especially, how to cleanly start & end a database connection).

(How it works now is that everything at the bottom of ipoe/lang/reader.rkt gets loaded in the repl)

Thanks, I'll try that!
