Hm. Jan's example should work, nevertheless. And it does work for me: tomas@rasputin:~$ guile GNU Guile 2.0.11.133-d680 Copyright (C) 1995-2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Guile comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `,show w'. This program is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `,show c' for details. Enter `,help' for help. scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (srfi srfi-1)) scheme@(guile-user)> (take (list 1 2 3 4) 4) $1 = (1 2 3 4) Hmmm. (note my Guile version, which is a tad beyond "plain" 2.0.11; but FWIW it works for me in Guile 1.8 too) regards - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlgwyYsACgkQBcgs9XrR2kZKGwCfdjI4+zOQFWgaM+WMZb95v22x gi8An10EyxTJ+NAgO/FWqwjcQ3CiuMWC =EXVs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
