Göran,

Just downloaded industria. Nice libs!

Quick tip for everyone else. Some R6RS projects such as xitomatl, srfi, and agave, are distributed as a single directory which you can just drop in the directory where you keep libraries, and off you go. There are other projects such as industria, spells, and nausicaa which don't use this format. In these projects, the root of the library hierarchy is a directory that's under the project root somewhere. So what I usually do, which seems to work OK, is create a symlink from their library root into my Scheme libraries directory. So for example,

    $ cd /src

    $ bzr branch lp:~weinholt/scheme-libraries/industria

    $ ln -s /src/industria/weinholt /scheme

This is nice because I can pull updates from their repositories and the changes are of course immediately available to Scheme.

This is in constrast to adding those each project's library tree to your IKARUS_LIBRARY_PATH (and the equivalent variables for the other Schemes).
