If you want to run Guile without installing it, set the environment
variable `SCHEME_LOAD_PATH' to a colon-separated list of directories,
including the directory containing this INSTALL file. For example, if
you unpacked Guile so that the full filename of this file is
`/home/jimb/guile-snap/INSTALL', then you might say
including the directory containing this INSTALL file. If you used a
separate build directory, you'll need to include the build directory
in the path as well.
export SCHEME_LOAD_PATH=/home/jimb/my-scheme:/home/jimb/guile-snap
For example, suppose the Guile distribution unpacked into a directory
called `/home/jimb/guile-snap' (so the full name of this file would be
`/home/jimb/guile-snap/INSTALL'). Then you might say:
export SCHEME_LOAD_PATH=/home/jimb/guile-snap
if you're using Bash or any other Bourne shell variant, or
setenv SCHEME_LOAD_PATH /home/jimb/my-scheme:/home/jimb/guile-snap
setenv SCHEME_LOAD_PATH /home/jimb/guile-snap
if you're using CSH or one of its variants.
If you built Guile in a separate directory from the source tree, then
you'll need to include your build directory in the SCHEME_LOAD_PATH as
well. For example, if you built in a subdirectory of the source tree
called `pentium', you might say:
export SCHEME_LOAD_PATH=/home/jimb/guile-snap:/home/jimb/guile-snap/pentium
