I believe it also doesn't define the (ice-9 slib) module if it detects guile 1.6, so we'd still need at least a small wrapper. Good points; I had forgotten about the case problem because slib is patched in NetBSD pkgsrc so i have a fixed version. I understand your concern, but as I see it things are quite broken now. One could reasonably take the approach of ask Aubrey to make a new point release with symbol case fixed make ice-9/slib just a define-module/load wrapper, with an option for users to revert declare any problems with guile.init bugs in slib and fix them there That will have a little short-term pain but get us quickly to a non-broken state. -- Greg Troxel _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
