Hi,
I'm new to ikarus and having trouble importing the srfi library.  I
checked out the library into a directory in my IKARUS_LIBRARY_PATH
using

sudo bzr checkout --lightweight
https://code.launchpad.net/~scheme-libraries-team/scheme-libraries/srfi

but when I start ikarus and type (import (srfi lists)) I get the error

 Unhandled exception
 Condition components:
   1. &error
   2. &who: expander
   3. &message: "cannot locate library in library-path"
   4. &library-resolution:
       library: (srfi lists)
       files: ("./srfi/lists/main.ikarus.sls" "./  .....directories
searched for here

I've also tried putting the srfi directory into /usr/local/lib/ikarus.
 It seems the problem is the files in the srfi directory are different
than what ikarus is looking for.  Is there something I need to do
inside srfi like compiling the files?  I tried ikarus
--compile-dependencies compile-all.ikarus.sps, but I got the error

Unhandled exception:
 Condition components:
   1. &who: cons*
   2. &message: "multiple definitions of identifier"
   3. &syntax:
       form: cons*
       subform: #f
   4. &trace: #<syntax cons*>

Thanks for any help.
Best,
Irvin
