Yes, this is exactly right. >> Version 3a2 has added the function "with-load-pathname" and it isn't >> in the slib.scm file that the guile packages provide. >> >> It seems to me that: >> >> 1) slib.scm should not be in guile-1.6-libs and libguile9. >> 2) slib.scm should be in guile1.4-slib and guile-1.6-slib. > > How would this help? It doesn't solve the instant problem. It makes it (together with 3) easier the next time. >> 3) the guile*-slib packages should contain a *versioned* dependency on >> slib so that new slib versions which change the initialization >> interface can DTRT. > > Can you elaborate on what you have in mind here? Right now guile-1.6-slib depends on slib. It should contain slib.scm itself (rather than putting it in guile-1.6-slib) and then depend on, for example, "slib (=3e2)".
