What system is this?  You could try delete the following two lines
from libguile/guile.c, they're not needed on a gnu system.

	extern const lt_dlsymlist lt_preloaded_symbols[];
	lt_dlpreload_default (lt_preloaded_symbols);

Dunno why the symbol is "lt__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols" though.

bug in guile-core/ice-9/slib.scm

All,

As part of a networking project I am working on, I had to port forward
our existing codebase from Guile 1.6 to Guile 1.8. On doing so, I
started getting errors of the form (on running):

ERROR: Unbound variable: with-load-pathname

I dug around a little, and discovered that a thread that discussed
this problem for Guile 1.6-7 with GNUCash. I am new to Guile and don't
understand this really well, but apparently, slib.scm needs to pull in
guile.init to get support for with-load-pathname. Using the same
technique worked for Guile 1.8 for my application.

I don't understand the Guile codebase well enough, and am not sure if
this has already been fixed in current - I think it hasn't. I am
attaching a patch against
guile-core/ice-9/slib.scm v1.46 in your CVS (the branching point for
Guile 1.8).

There's a fix in the 1.6 branch that's on its way to the 1.8 branch.

For now the suggestion is to follow the slib manual if you're using
slib, which is "guile -l guile.init".

Actually, Guile 1.8 just doesn't support SLIB yet, and I'm not sure
how soon it will.  I've been trying to fix that, and have been in a
discussion with the SLIB author about what the fix should look like,
but we haven't finished that discussion yet.

I suspect the slib.scm will look similar to the one in 1.6, but the
upstream guile.init will probably be different, given the changes in
1.8.

MinGW port

Hi,

the attached patch fixes compiler errors on Win32/MinGW.

Best,

Minor documentation layout flaws

Hello. I decided to make a print version of the reference manual; but
there were so many stuff that ran through the right side of the page
(technically, overfull hboxes). I'm interested in helping you guys
remove those things so that all the stuff fits on a page; but I'm
wondering if there are any standards and such before I start making
major changes.

For example: one of the pages had some guile source code with
"call-with-current-continuation" on it. But the word was so big; that
it pushed the parameters off the page. The easiest correction is to
just change the word into "call/cc" instead; but that might conflict
with your standard...

So I'm just wondering if you got anything like that. If not... I'll be
working on that documentation patch!

If tex would report them in a form that you could step through it'd be
possible to fix the worst ones.

Thanks, I reformatted a bit.

Actually; it does.

After you do texi2dvi, all the overful hboxes are in "guile.log" (assuming
you did "texi2dvi guile.texi")

The bigger the number (ex: overful hbox: 500pt) the worse it is.
