Installing SLIB ===========================================================
In order to use SLIB from Guile you basically only need to put the
`slib' directory _in_ one of the directories on Guile's load path.
The standard installation is:
1. Obtain slib from http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/SLIB.html
2. Put it in Guile's data directory, that is the directory printed when
you type
guile-config info pkgdatadir
at the shell prompt. This is normally `/usr/local/share/guile', so the
directory will normally have full path `/usr/local/share/guile/slib'.
3. Start guile as a user with write access to the data directory and type
(use-modules (ice-9 slib))
at the Guile prompt. This will generate the slibcat catalog next to
the slib directory.
SLIB's `require' is provided by the Guile module (ice-9 slib).
Example:
(use-modules (ice-9 slib))
(require 'primes)
(prime? 7)
