execlp
Hi, I am trying to see if there is a way to determine if a program is in the path (i.e. a bit like "which"), returning a #t or #f answer. I was looking execl and execlp. The documentation for execl says: > Executes the file named by path as a new process image what is path ? I'm guessing that that should be "filename". While playing around, I notice that (execlp "ls") produces a core dump. My question is then, *is* there a way to determine if a string is executable? (And if so, how? :-) Thanks, Paul.

Re: Guile-gnome
Hello, So after battling to compile g-wrap (I needed a macro in gettext) I have bee able to install guile-gnome but I am getting: [ariel@~/src/guile-gnome-platform/gtk/examples/tutorial]$ guile-gnome-2 -l hello.scm ;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 ;;; or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable. ;;; compiling /home/ariel/src/guile-gnome-platform/gtk/examples/tutorial/hello.scm ;;; WARNING: compilation of /home/ariel/src/guile-gnome-platform/gtk/examples/tutorial/hello.scm failed: ;;; ERROR: no code for module (gnome gtk) My prefix is /usr/local/ ariel 2011/11/22 Andy Wingo : > Hello old friend! > > On Tue 22 Nov 2011 20:37, Ariel Rios writes: > >> Where is guile-gnome located hosted these days? > > http://gnu.org/s/guile-gnome/ > > You'll need to use g-wrap and guile-gnome from git, but it does work > with Guile 2.0. > > Peace, > > Andy > -- > http://wingolog.org/ > >

Maybe you need to make some adjustments with GUILE_LOAD_PATH?
Re: Guile-gnome
I guess I was tired and didn't look that I needed guile-cairo and some other stuff. I've got it running now.

Re: execlp
I think there's a bug. (execlp "ls" "") will access. Since the second parameter is optional, scm_execlp doesn't handle exec_argv unbounded situation.

Re: execlp
Well, I noticed your second question. ;-) The common method to determine a executable file is stat:perms, you may check it out in the manual for details.
