No problem. Thanks for your reply.

Indeed. Debian installs SLIB under /usr/share/slib.

Previously noted. If I start guile like so:
$ slib guile
guile> (require 'new-catalog)
guile>
this creates the catalog in SLIB's implementation vicinity:
/usr/share/guile/1.8/slibcat
but if I then run guile normally, I encounter the following error when
calling the (ice-9 slib) module:
$ guile
guile> (use-modules (ice-9 slib))
ERROR: Unbound variable: slib:features
ABORT: (unbound-variable)
guile>
I set the following variables in my .profile:
# guile-lib, guile-www & guile-pg (when I get it to build)
[ -d /usr/local/share/guile/site ] && \
export GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/usr/local/share/guile/site"
# SLIB's 'library-vicinity'
[ -d /usr/share/slib ] && \
export SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/share/slib/"
# SLIB's 'implementation vicinity'
[ -d /usr/share/guile/1.8 ] && \
export GUILE_IMPLEMENTATION_PATH="/usr/share/guile/1.8/"
and /usr/share/guile/1.8/ looks like this:
/usr/share/guile/1.8:

This is all just for your/the list's information really, given that
I'm using stock Debian versions of guile and slib.
I'm still able to use SLIB in scripts thanks to SLIB's guile.init:
#!/usr/bin/guile \
-l /usr/share/slib/guile.init -s
!#
but
(use-modules (ice-9 slib))
wouls be nice :-)
