If you have installed guile, you already have a complete Scheme
system. That's what guile is - a Scheme interpreter designed for
easy embedding in other programs.
slib works fine with guile. As well as the slib documentation, you
should check the guile-ref info file for information about setting up
slib to work with guile.
