But something like (define-module (ice-9 slib)) (define-module (guile-user)) (load "slib/guile.init") might be close, assuming the guile.init can be found. I forget what it was that didn't work when I tried this though (maybe only with the cvs head, not sure). > (load "/some/where/slib/guile.init") > ; NB: in this case, 'require may not find SLIB modules, see the SLIB > documentation I think it's sort of supposed to work. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
