I have been busy installing orion and it's support libs.  All the

Orion installed correctly until it made the script to call itself, and
then I get this error:
rohan@pareto43 ~/devel/scheme/scsh/orion-0.2]./install.scm --prefix ~/Programs/Scsh-libs --layout scsh Error: cannot find the directory for location 'bin' in active layout.

You cannot install Orion within the scsh layout; that's the problem here ;-) Orion is a program and not a library, which is also specified in 'install.scm'. For programs, the install-library has other default options defined, among them 'fhs-program' as the default layout. And that's the only layout which defines the 'bin' location. So if you don't override the layout option, or use 'fhs-program' it works fine. Maybe this should be documented somewhere... within Orion or the install-lib, or better both :-)
