Question about installation under Windows

Before I open an issue ticket, I'm wondering if I'm doing anything obviously wrong in my installation of Church on Windows? I followed the directions here and I wasn't able to run the examples in the tutorial in any obvious way. I chose to use ikarus although I would be quite satisfied to use PLT Scheme (now Racket) if there was a clear way to do it.

For example, although I'm able to run

ikarus --r6rs-script test/church-test-suite.ss</nowiki>

at the end of the installation instructions, I'm not able to run a file containing

(import (church)) (church (define mean (gaussian 0 1)) (define var (abs (gaussian 0 1))) (gaussian mean var) (flip 0.5) ) (exit)

which is the first example in the Getting Started with MIT-Church section, either if I run as

ikarus --r6rs-script test/my-test.ss

or as

ikarus test/my-test.ss

An example of the issue is:

$ ikarus.exe --r6rs-script tests/my-test.ss Unhandled exception:

I've found that I can run something like this particular example if I abuse my header to look like the test suite, but this doesn't hold for some of the further examples in that section.
