Dear Spencer,

Thank you for pointing out inaccuracies in the tutorials, which is
sort of inherited from an *extremely* old version of Guile.

The solution for you is to take out the -lgh (as you have already
done), since the gh_ interface is now a part of libguile and not an
add-on.

And you should also include

#include <guile/gh.h>

instead of just <gh.h>.  And finally you should take out the line that 
says

gh_enter()

since that is no longer necessary.

If you do these things, the example should compile for you.

Thanks to your feedback, I have corrected these mistakes in the
tutorial and committed the fix.  Tomorrow's snapshot should have a
correct learn0.c in it, as well as correct compiling instructions!

Oooh, that would be dreadful, wouldn't it?  Actually most of us
Guile-ers believe that a well-tempered mix of C and Scheme code is the 
way to go.

PS: I presume you are aware of the caveats regaring Guile docs, right?
None of us has made time to work on them in a long time, and they are
out of synch, although some parts are OK.

PPS: please submit more documentation nits -- it will motivate me to
fix things up.
