Running Guile

Running Guile

[Shehryar Humayun]

I am having the following output in load-opc while
trying to run guile.
*************************************************
guile>(load-opc)

Backtrace:
0* [load-opc]
1* [load "read"]
2  [prmitive-load-path "read"]
3* [maybe-load "slib/pp" #f pretty-print]
4  [letrec ((dynamic-func? #)) (let (#) (cond # # #)))
   ...
5  [prmitive-load-path "slib/pp"]
6* (require (quote generic-write))

/usr/share/guile/slib/pp.scm:3:1: In expression
(require ((quote generic-write)):
/usr/share/guile/slib/pp.scm:3:1: Unbound variable
require
ABORT: (misc-error)
*************************************************
Anyone got any ideas what the cause of the problem
might be?

What version of Guile are you using?  Have you tried using the
Makefile-driven way of invoking CGEN, as discussed in the CGEN FAQ?

> What version of Guile are you using?
I am using the version of Guile installed with Linux
7.3. and CGEN-1.0. That is Guile-1.3.4. Should I
install Guile-1.4.1. Does that require the remove the
previous installation of Guile?

Guile was installed as a part of Linux installation
while I installed CGEN my self. Got statements like
nothing to make during the make process. Any idea
about what I should do?

Thanks in advance


p.s. Actaully one thing that is confusing me is that
slib/pp.scm file in the source tree of Guile-1.4.1
does not contain 
(require 'generic-write)
on the third line. While the files in
usr/share/guile/slib/pp.scm and
usr/share/umb-scheme/slib/pp.scm 
both contain this on their third line.

Either of those versions should be fine.

I think I may have been unclear in my explanation.  Please review:
