You can specify a different history file by setting this environment
variable. By default, the history file is @file{$HOME/.guile_history}.
@item GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE
@vindex GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE
This is a flag that can be used to tell Guile whether or not to install
the current locale at startup, via a call to @code{(setlocale LC_ALL
"")}. @xref{Locales}, for more information on locales.
You may explicitly indicate that you do not want to install
the locale by setting @env{GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE} to @code{0}, or
explicitly enable it by setting the variable to @code{1}.
Usually, installing the current locale is the right thing to do. It
allows Guile to correctly parse and print strings with non-ASCII
characters. However, for compatibility with previous Guile 2.0
releases, this option is off by default. The next stable release series
of Guile (the 2.2 series) will install locales by default.
