A user ran into trouble installing guile-2d because of an > error with case-lambda in this module. They are using Guile 2.0.7. That's because in the old version, the 'case-lambda' had the docstring outside of the clauses -- a syntax that wasn't supported before 2.0.9. However, you should switch to using the new version of mvars.scm, which avoids the 'case-lambda' altogether, and also fixes some bugs. The new version should work on older versions of Guile. Mark
