It's actually (require-library srfi-4) (import srfi-4) == (use srfi-4). The code load and module import are separate steps. E.g. $ csi -no-init #;1> (module foo () (import scheme) (import srfi-4) u8vector) ; loading /Users/jim/local/chicken-4/lib/chicken/4/scheme.import.so ... ; loading /Users/jim/local/chicken-4/lib/chicken/4/srfi-4.import.so ... Error: unbound variable: u8vector $ csi -no-init #;1> (module foo () (import scheme) (require-library srfi-4) (import srfi-4) u8vector) ; loading /Users/jim/local/chicken-4/lib/chicken/4/scheme.import.so ... ; loading /Users/jim/local/chicken-4/lib/chicken/4/srfi-4.import.so ... ; loading library srfi-4 ... #<procedure (u8vector . xs966)> If you do not need to use import specifiers such as 'rename' or 'only', you may condense the two steps into one using (use srfi-4) or (require-extension srfi-4). Otherwise, you must perform both steps. Jim _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
