6.2 Packages not shipped with Guile
===================================
We ship the Guile tutorial and reference manual with the Guile
distribution. Since the Scheme standard (R5RS) is a stable document, we
ship that too.
Here are references (usually World Wide Web URLs) to some other
freely redistributable documents and packages which you might find
useful if you are using Guile.
*SCSH*
the Scheme Shell. Gary Houston has ported SCSH to Guile. The
relevant chapter ( The Scheme shell (scsh)) has references
to the SCSH web page with all its documentation.
*SLIB*
a portable Scheme library maintained by Aubrey Jaffer. SLIB can be
obtained by ftp from `ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/jacal/'.
The SLIB package should be unpacked somewhere in Guile's load
path. It will typically be unpacked in
`/usr/local/share/guile/site', so that it will be
`/usr/local/share/guile/site/slib'.
Guile might have been installed with a different prefix, in which
case the load path can be checked from inside the interpreter with:
guile> %load-path
("/usr/local/share/guile/site" "/usr/local/share/guile/1.3a" "/usr/local/share/guile" ".")
The relevant chapter ( SLIB) has details on how to use SLIB
with Guile.
*JACAL*
a symbolic math package by Aubrey Jaffer. The latest version of
Jacal can be obtained from `ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/jacal/',
and should be unpacked in `/usr/local/share/guile/site/slib' so
that it will be in `/usr/local/share/guile/site/slib/jacal'.
The relevant section ( JACAL) has details on how to use
Jacal.
