Sorry you are quite right, I should have said GNU libc (is that used on other than Linux and HURD these days?). In this case, GNU libc is not a requirement for guile, which runs on free operating systems with GNU libc, free OS w/o GNU libc and non-free OS. The real reference is to the C99-specified strftime. I think what bothered me was the broken link in the info file since I do not have GNU libc info files installed. I tried to follow it, and then realized it was a cross-file link. So, sure, adding "or see strftime(3)" would help. -- Greg Troxel _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
