Prerequisites

The first thing to do is get and build the guile-iii snapshot (available from ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/lord).

I have been able to compile and run this on SunOS 4.1.*, SGI IRIX 5.3 and Linux platforms. It might be necessary to have flex and bison on your system.

On the systems I use, I install guile with prefix /packages, so the include files are in /packages/include and /packages/include/guile, and the libraries are in /packages/lib and /packages/lib/gls. In other words, I ran

./configure --prefix=/packages

So if you see any reference to /packages in this tutorial, you should change it to the root directory you use on your system.
