Hello. If you start guile from a directory that contains "init.scm" file, it will be loaded. Try this recipe (GUILE_..._PATH are unset for a pure experiment):
cd /tmp echo foo > init.scm GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH= GUILE_LOAD_PATH= guile -q And it fails with this error: guile: uncaught throw to unbound-variable: (#f Unbound variable: ~S (foo) #f) Cannot exit gracefully when init is in progress; aborting. Aborted (core dumped) I'm not sure I understand it right from the commentary in "init.c"[1], but I think this behavior is not intended, or is it?
