 @node Obtaining and Installing Guile  
 @appendix Obtaining and Installing Guile  
   
 Here is the information you will need to get and install Guile and extra  
 packages and documentation you might need or find interesting.  
   
 @menu  
 * The Basic Guile Package::        
 * Packages not shipped with Guile::    
 @end menu  
   
 @node The Basic Guile Package  
 @section The Basic Guile Package  
   
 Guile can be obtained from the main GNU archive site  
 @url{ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu} or any of its mirrors.  The file  
 will be named guile-version.tar.gz.  The current version is  
 @value{VERSION}, so the file you should grab is:  
   
 @url{ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/guile-@value{VERSION}.tar.gz}  
   
 To unbundle Guile use the instruction  
 @example  
 zcat guile-@value{VERSION}.tar.gz | tar xvf -  
 @end example  
 which will create a directory called @file{guile-@value{VERSION}} with  
 all the sources.  You can look at the file @file{INSTALL} for detailed  
 instructions on how to build and install Guile, but you should be able  
 to just do  
 @example  
 cd guile-@value{VERSION}  
 ./configure  
 make install  
 @end example  
   
 This will install the Guile executable @file{guile}, the Guile library  
 @file{libguile.a} and various associated header files and support  
 libraries. It will also install the Guile tutorial and reference manual.  
   
 @c [[include instructions for getting R5RS]]  
   
 Since this manual frequently refers to the Scheme ``standard'', also  
 known as R5RS, or the  
 @iftex  
 ``Revised$^5$ Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme'',  
 @end iftex  
 @ifinfo  
 ``Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme'',  
 @end ifinfo  
 we have included the report in the Guile distribution;  
 @xref{Top, , Introduction, r5rs, Revised(5) Report on the Algorithmic  
 Language Scheme}.  
 This will also be installed in your info directory.  
   
   
 @node Packages not shipped with Guile  
 @section Packages not shipped with Guile  
   
 We ship the Guile tutorial and reference manual with the Guile  
 distribution.  Since the Scheme standard (R5RS) is a stable document, we  
 ship that too.  
   
 Here are references (usually World Wide Web URLs) to some other freely  
 redistributable documents and packages which you might find useful if  
 you are using Guile.  
   
 @table @strong  
 @item SCSH  
 the Scheme Shell.  Gary Houston has ported SCSH to Guile.  The relevant  
 chapter (@pxref{The Scheme shell (scsh)}) has references to the SCSH web  
 page with all its documentation.  
   
 @item SLIB  
 a portable Scheme library maintained by Aubrey Jaffer.  SLIB can be  
 obtained by ftp from @url{ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/jacal/}.  
   
 The SLIB package should be unpacked somewhere in Guile's load path.  It  
 will typically be unpacked in @file{/usr/local/share/guile/site}, so  
 that it will be @file{/usr/local/share/guile/site/slib}.  
   
 Guile might have been installed with a different prefix, in which case  
 the load path can be checked from inside the interpreter with:  
   
 @smalllisp  
 guile> %load-path  
 ("/usr/local/share/guile/site" "/usr/local/share/guile/1.3a" "/usr/local/share/guile" ".")  
 @end smalllisp  
   
 The relevant chapter (@pxref{SLIB}) has details on how to use SLIB with  
 Guile.  
   
 @item JACAL  
 a symbolic math package by Aubrey Jaffer.  The latest version of Jacal  
 can be obtained from @url{ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/jacal/}, and  
 should be unpacked in @file{/usr/local/share/guile/site/slib} so that  
 it will be in @file{/usr/local/share/guile/site/slib/jacal}.  
   
 The relevant section (@pxref{JACAL}) has details on how to use Jacal.
