System: FreeBSD 6.4-STABLE #0: Sat Jul  4 18:28:39 CDT 2009

libgmp-4.3.1
guile-1.8.6_1
slib-3b1_1        (manual adjustment to slib install to get latest version: 3b1)

setenv GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/share/slib/



>Description:


===>  Installing for slib-guile-3b1_1
===>   slib-guile-3b1_1 depends on file: /usr/local/share/slib/require.scm - found
===>   slib-guile-3b1_1 depends on executable: guile - found
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if lang/slib-guile already installed
/bin/ln -shf /usr/local/share/slib /usr/local/share/guile/1.8/slib
cd /usr/local/share/guile/1.8/slib &&  /usr/local/bin/guile -q -l guile.init -c  "(require 'new-catalog)"
*** Error code 1

Stop in /ad4/usrports/lang/slib-guile.



>How-To-Repeat:


Before setting GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/share/slib/, the error message  was:

/bin/ln -shf /usr/local/share/slib /usr/local/share/guile/1.8/slib
cd /usr/local/share/guile/1.8/slib &&  /usr/local/bin/guile -q -l guile.init -c  "(require 'new-catalog)"
ERROR: Unbound variable: require
*** Error code 1

Stop in /ad4/usrports/lang/slib-guile.


>Fix:


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A) Modify "do-install" target in the Makefile

=== from
        ${LN} -shf ${PREFIX}/share/slib ${LOCALBASE}/share/guile/1.8/slib
        cd ${PREFIX}/share/guile/1.8/slib && \
                ${LOCALBASE}/bin/guile -q -l guile.init -c \
                "(require 'new-catalog)"


=== to
        ${LN} -shf ${PREFIX}/share/slib ${LOCALBASE}/share/guile/1.8/slib
        cd ${PREFIX}/share/guile/1.8/slib && \
                ${LOCALBASE}/bin/guile -q -l guile.init -c \
                "(use-modules (ice-9 slib));(require 'new-catalog)"

B) mkdir /usr/local/share/guile/site

NOTE: when compiling GnuCASH which requires "/usr/local/share/guile/1.8/slibcat",
it was necessary to create a link from "../guile/site/slibcat". Don't know if this is the proper
way to handle this requirement for slibcat or not. Installing slib-3b1 has fixed GnuCASH's requrement
for slib-3b1 (as noted in the above REFERENCE).

COMMENTS: I am not really famiilar with guile or slib. Also, creating "$HOME/.guile" as recommended
didn't help. ktrace showed that it wasn't being used during "make install" - hence the change to the
Makefile.
