Re: gak! slib

The jacal manual tells you to do

  (slib:load "/usr/local/lib/jacal/math.scm")

Although slib:load is supposed to behave like load there is one
important difference: slib:load sets the variable *load-pathname* to
the file currently being loaded.  This property is used by slib, so
using load will very probably cause an error.

Note that this is not peculiarities of Guile's slib support.  The
situation is the same in SCM.
