enumerate-graphic-types is empty, unable to use graphics [MIT/GNU Scheme]

Question

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and MIT-Scheme's procedure (enumerate-graphic-types) returns nothing. Even compiling the software from source with the flags --include-x11 and --with-x simply tells me that lib/*.com does not exist in my /usr/bin/install directory.

I am not sure how to compile/run scheme so I can use its graphical procedures.

Answer 1

(enumerate-graphics-types) ; void
(load-option 'x11)
(enumerate-graphics-types) ; non-void
(define dev (make-graphics-device 'x))

This should work, supposing you compiled with the appropriate autotools flags.
