Hello,
Guile and its manual have been teaching me a lot. Thank you.

I wrote up some of the details that gave me trouble while installing
guile (GNU Guile) 2.2.4. (fn:1)
For Debian 9 Guile 2.2 seems to require an installation of Guile 2.0
for shared libraries.
Maybe most people that use Guile are developers and already have
-devel packages installed:

For Debian:

I hope this mail will help and not just distract. Eventually I'd like
to use Guile Scheme for basic programming education. The smoother the
installation process goes for non-developers, the more likely it is that
the Guile Scheme notation will be good for general education, the way
Lancelot Hogben in _Mathematics for the Millions_ about the importance
of notation.
Take it easy,
Brian Small
