[...] > +(eval-when (expand load eval) > + (load-extension (string-append "libguile-" (effective-version)) > + "scm_init_popen")) To me this is not an option because it’s using an internal function and it’s too fragile (that C function is not meant to be called more than once). That said, I agree that in principle we should be doing something along these lines: calling out to a C function that does fork+dup+exec in a safe way. Thanks for looking into this! Ludo’.
