All,
As part of a networking project I am working on, I had to port forward
our existing codebase from Guile 1.6 to Guile 1.8. On doing so, I
started getting errors of the form (on running):
ERROR: Unbound variable: with-load-pathname
I dug around a little, and discovered that a thread that discussed
this problem for Guile 1.6-7 with GNUCash. I am new to Guile and don't
understand this really well, but apparently, slib.scm needs to pull in
guile.init to get support for with-load-pathname. Using the same
technique worked for Guile 1.8 for my application.
I don't understand the Guile codebase well enough, and am not sure if
this has already been fixed. I am attaching a patch against
guile-core/ice-9/slib.scm v1.46 in your CVS (the branching point for
Guile 1.8).

There's a fix in the 1.6 branch that's on its way to the 1.8 branch.
For now the suggestion is to follow the slib manual if you're using
slib, which is "guile -l guile.init".

Actually, Guile 1.8 just doesn't support SLIB yet, and I'm not sure
how soon it will. I've been trying to fix that, and have been in a
discussion with the SLIB author about what the fix should look like,
but we haven't finished that discussion yet.
I suspect the slib.scm will look similar to the one in 1.6, but the
upstream guile.init will probably be different, given the changes in
1.8.
