The Guile package contains the Project GNU's extension language library. Guile also contains a stand alone Scheme interpreter.
Guile will utilize: readline-4.3 |
Install Guile by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install |
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
In addition to the libguile libraries, the Guile package contains guile, guile-config and guile-snarf.
guile is a stand-alone scheme interpreter for Guile.
guile-config is a Guile script which provides the information necessary to link your programs against the Guile library, in much the same way pkgconfig-0.15.0 does.
guile-snarf a script to parse declarations in your C code for Scheme-visible C functions, Scheme objects to be used by C code, etc.
