Thanks Jim. In fact, I was using 1.3.4 but because of dates on the server,
I thought despite file size, that 1.3 whas "newer".

In fact I dowloaded 1.3 to try to solve a little problem, which I just now posted
to guile-gtk@sourceware.cygnus.com but got rejected.

So, here is my problem, could you forward it to guile-gtk for me? Many thanks if
yes.

Hello,

I am using

        guile 1.3.4
        guile-gtk 0.17

        david@faust:~ 1 $ env | grep guile
        GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/share/guile:/usr/local/share/guile-gtk

I have the "strange" following behavior:

        david@faust:~/alto/projects/guile 6 $ ./ggl.scm
        ERROR: Unbound variable: string-match
        
so does:
        david@faust:~/alto/projects/guile 10 $ guile-gtk -s ./ggl.scm
        ERROR: Unbound variable: string-match
and:
        david@faust:~/alto/projects/guile 27 $ guile-gtk -e main -s ggl.scm
        ERROR: Unbound variable: string-match

Although:

        david@faust:~/alto/projects/guile 11 $ guile
        guile> (load "ggl.scm")
        guile> (ggl)

works perfectly fine!

What is it that I did not understand here?
Many thanks for your help
David

You need to put a

    (use-modules (ice-9 regex))

at the start of ggl.scm.  Files that are loaded from the prompt run in
a different environment than the one loaded via the "-s" command line
option.  From the prompt, the (ice-9 regex) module is already visible.
