Hello Lawrence, Are you only loading the exact file from that URL? Which version of CHICKEN are you using? If I do the same in any of the last three releases (these are 4.9.0.1, 4.10.0 and 4.11.0), it loads the file without any complains: CHICKEN (c) 2008-2016, The CHICKEN Team (c) 2000-2007, Felix L. Winkelmann Version 4.11.0 (rev ce980c4) linux-unix-gnu-x86-64 [ 64bit manyargs dload ptables ] compiled 2016-05-28 on yves.more-magic.net (Linux) #;1> (load "simply.scm") ; loading simply.scm ... #;2> So this seems to indicate you're either testing with a very old version of CHICKEN, or you've already made some changes to the code from that URL. Cheers, Peter
