Autoconf test for site scheme files
Hi- I'm setting up the configure.ac and Makefile.in for a project that will install some guile modules. The modules have scheme wrappers and load a shared object file. The shared object library will go into /usr/local/lib Is there a "standard" way to get the site scheme directory? At first glance, I would set it as schemedir = $(datarootdir)/guile/site, but, if $(datarootdir) is /usr/local/share, then $(schemedir) will be /usr/local/share/guile/site, which is not in the default %load-path. One solution would be to make a configure test that runs guile, prints the %load-path, and then saves the first element in %load-path that ends in the word "site". Or something with `guile-config info pkgdatadir`, I guess. Thanks, Mike Gran ___ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
displaying a backtrace in the shell
hello, I am trying to get a guile script that is executed on a port server to display a backtrace if there is an error. as of now I have: (define (backtrace-test args) (catch 'ignore (lambda () (lazy-catch #t (lambda () (throw 'test-error)) (lambda (key . args) (let ((stack (make-stack #t))) (throw 'ignore (with-output-to-string (lambda () (display-backtrace stack (current-output-port) (lambda (k . v) (display (car v) which, if you run in interactive Guile, displays the backtrace without complaint. however, when you execute this from the command line, it says, Exception during displaying of backtrace: wrong-type-arg why is this? any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Autoconf test for site scheme files
The hard question is whether you want the site directory in guile's prefix, or the corresponding place in your prefix, assuming they are different. I have tended to use the corresponding place in my prefix, and then to either add to load path or symlink my subdir into guile's site directory. ___ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user

It is definitely easier than making autoconf macros. This brings up another question. Should %load-path should generally include /usr/local/share/guile/site by default? Arguments in favor: it would keep symmetry with the emacs $(lispdir) directory as described in the GNU coding standards. [1] Philosophically, can something be "site"-specific and not be "local"? Arguments opposed: don't fix what ain't broke.
