      Description: GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extension (guile)
      Long Description: Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language, packaged for use in a wide variety of environments. Guile implements Scheme as described in the Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (usually known as R5RS), providing clean and general data and control structures. Guile goes beyond the rather austere language presented in R5RS, extending it with a module system, full access to POSIX system calls, networking support, multiple threads, dynamic linking, a foreign function call interface, powerful string processing, and many other features needed for programming in the real world.

      #user_notes You may need to set the environment variable # DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to ${prefix}/lib (or wherever # the guile libraries have been installed) if you want # to load guile modules from an application linked with # libguile. This should only apply to developers using # guile as an extension language.

      Password:
    You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

      ---> Fetching guile
      ---> Verifying checksum for guile
      ---> Extracting guile
      ---> Configuring guile
      ---> Building guile with target all
      ---> Staging guile into destroot
      ---> Installing guile
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using guile with these commands:
      %  man guile
      % apropos guile
      % which guile
      % locate guile
