Hi Marius,

I tried to compile it on Mac OS X, but the following comes up:

if /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. 
-I.. -I.. -I../libguile-ltdl    -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes 
-Werror -MT srfi-13.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/srfi-13.Tpo" -c -o srfi-13.lo 
srfi-13.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/srfi-13.Tpo" ".deps/srfi-13.Plo"; else rm -f 
".deps/srfi-13.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I.. -I../libguile-ltdl -g -O2 
-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror -MT srfi-13.lo -MD -MP -MF 
.deps/srfi-13.Tpo -c srfi-13.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/srfi-13.o
