(use-modules (ice-9 slib))
or
(define-module (my-module) :use-module (ice-9 slib))
plus
(slib:load "math")
works now. (Please try next snapshot.)
Note however that the latest version of Jacal seems to have a minor
bug: You need to `(define horner #f)' before calling `math'.

I found one bug (causing (program-vicinity) to return "/" instead of
""). Apart from this there were two unprovided features (delay and
defmacro) which probably were provided by earlier versions of slib.
Also, I exported slib:load so that jacal can be run in other modules
than the slib module.
Please send in bug-reports if other procedures should be exported from
the slib module.

This is basically what ice-9/slib.scm is. Someone should probably go
through it and compare with Template.scm, though. It has basically
only been bugfixed since Tom Lord wrote it.
