1st: I don't know anything about Scheme. Scheme/SLIB is required for
GnuCash which has ~4 years of my books in it. I do however have a decade or
so of C/C++/Java/Python/Linux Admin experience.
Problem #1: README contains incorrect SLIB install instructions. Running
"guile-config info pkgdatadir" returns '/root/my-applications/share/guile'
(Financial constraints have pushed me back to a Pentium MMX on which I'm
running puppylinux. Wife took the good computer to school. Will deal with
"root" use later.) However, according to the info file, the correct
directory is '/root/my-applications/share/guile/site'. So...which is
correct? Info file or README.
Problem #2: With SLIB 3a4 installed in either directory above, I get:
> guile> (use-modules (ice-9 slib))
> ERROR: Unbound variable: slib:features
> ABORT: (unbound-variable)
> guile>
Instructions at the end of the "info" file say:
If instead you get an error such as:
Unbound variable: scheme-implementation-type
then a solution is to get a newer version of Guile, or to modify
`ice-9/slib.scm' to use `define-public' for the offending
variables.
Yes I searched for problem reports and found this w.r.t. Guile 1.8.1 and
Slib 3a4:
http://osdir.com/ml/lisp.guile.bugs/2006-11/msg00010.html
After editing according to the instructions and replacing the slib.scm file
in the ice-9 directory, out pops a page full of error messages that nothing
in this life has prepared me to parse.
