Guile can be used independently as a Scheme interpreter as well as an extension library. Just type "guile" at the prompt, you will get the read-eval-print loop.
To make scripts executable, add this like to the beginning of the script and do chmod +x -----> #!/usr/bin/guile \ -s !# <----- Unlike other scripting languages, guile lets your have command-line arguments spawn across multiple lines, thats why you have #! and !# interface. hello.scm: -----> #!/usr/bin/guile \ -s !# (display "Hello GNU") (newline) <----- Hope this helps -- _.|_ (_||_) Free as in Freedom <www.gnu.org> _______________________________________________ Fsf-friends mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mm.gnu.org.in/mailman/listinfo/fsf-friends
