This won't actually work, for some reason or another. Once I am in the second, third, etc. thread, then I cannot set the current module to be guile-user. So, for example: scm-interp> (current-module) #<module (guile) f5e93e80> scm-interp> (define-module (guile-user)) #<directory (guile-user) f5e96600> scm-interp> (current-module) #<module (guile) f5e93e80> scm-interp> (set-current-module (define-module (guile-user))) #<directory (guile-user) f5e96600> scm-interp> (current-module) #<module (guile) f5e93e80> Here, scm-interp is my shell, which just calls scm_c_eval() from C code. What's worse, I seem to not be able to use modules when I'm in this mode. I can reproduce this behaviour from the standard command line client. So for example, list-index is defined in boot-9, but I want the one in srfi-1. They don't work alike; the boot-9 one complains about something when fed an example from srfi-1: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /usr/share/guile/1.8/srfi $ guile guile> (list-index even? '(3 1 4 1 5 9)) ERROR: Wrong type (expecting pair): #<primitive-procedure even?> ABORT: (wrong-type-arg) guile> (use-modules (srfi srfi-1)) guile> (list-index even? '(3 1 4 1 5 9)) 2 guile> (current-module) #<directory (guile-user) f7c48600> guile> (define-module (guile)) #<module (guile) f7c45e80> guile> (current-module) #<module (guile) f7c45e80> guile> (list-index even? '(3 1 4 1 5 9)) ERROR: Wrong type (expecting pair): #<primitive-procedure even?> ABORT: (wrong-type-arg) guile> (use-modules (srfi srfi-1)) guile> (list-index even? '(3 1 4 1 5 9)) ERROR: Wrong type (expecting pair): #<primitive-procedure even?> ABORT: (wrong-type-arg) guile> So apparently, it seems that I can't do a (use-modules) and have it stick, when I'm not in guile-user. What's worse, when I'm in any thread other than the first thread, I cannot get to guile-user. Which means that, no matter what, I cannot use srfi-1; there seems to be no workaround for this. --linas
