Template:Installing Guile

From AbInitio

GNU Guile is an extension/scripting language implementation based on Scheme, and we use it to provide a rich, fully-programmable user interface with minimal effort. It's free, of course, and you can download it from the Guile Home Page. (Guile is typically included with GNU/Linux systems.)

• Important: Most Linux distributions come with Guile already installed (check by seeing whether you can run guile --version from the command line). In that case, do not install your own version of Guile from source — having two versions of Guile on the same system will cause problems. However, by default most distributions install only the Guile libraries and not the programming headers — to compile libctl and MPB, you should install the "guile-devel" or "guile-dev" package (e.g. with RPM) that came with your system.
