I don't understand "install library". Does that mean make it visible for import?
Pretty much. It expands the library (to check for syntax errors) and registers it with the list of libraries that are available for imports. There's also (uninstall-library '(foo)) which removes an installed library from the registry (and does some other cleanup).
BTW is there any encouraged way of doing this in Ikarus besides creating a file with the library form in it and putting it at bottom of some directory that looks like the library name? I am aware of the discussion on library search paths and library name <-> resource converters.
Nop. That's the encouraged way. Typing (library (foo) ---) at the repl (or anywhere else) is not encouraged as it screws up compiling (to file) that library and all libraries that import it. Aziz,,,
