Problem with slib

Problem with slib

[Germán A. Arias]

I install slib as described in manual, but I have a problem. First I
type:

(use-modules (ice-9 slib))

And get:

scheme@(ice-9 slib) [1]> (quit)



All those files are there (require, mklibcat) so I don't know where is
the problem. Any advice? Thanks.

Unfortunately, the slib interface for Guile has been broken for quite
some time.  There has been some recent discussion [1] of fixing it,
including some preliminary patches, but that work seems to have stalled.
The main problem seems to be that none of the active Guile developers
use slib.  If someone would like to finish this work, it would be much
appreciated.

I will see if this solve my problem. Thanks.

Hi.  I noticed that the gsrc has an install recipe for slib to make
it work for Guile.  So that might be a solved problem for those that
use gsrc.  But I haven't tried it out personally.
