I'm running Guile 1.8.7 on Mac OS X Lion (10.7) and installed= it with MacPorts, the Portfile for guile 1.8.7 at revision 2. I think the= next step is to download the source directly from gnu and see if it was si= mply a compile option that was missed. And issuing the identical statement on my installation is guile> (number->string 18446744073709551615 16) "-1" Thanks for the additional clue. -Brian On Oct 5, 2011, at 3:34 PM, Frank Ch.
