Problems compiling gnome-guile.

[Lars Torben Wilson <torben coastnet com>]

I need more sleep. Sorry for the screwed-up Subject: the first time. :/

Anyway, maybe the following is relevant:

guile> (use-modules (ice-9 slib))
guile> (require 'random)
ERROR: In expression identity:
ERROR: Unbound variable: identity
ABORT: (misc-error)

Type "(backtrace)" to get more information.
guile> (backtrace)

Backtrace:
 0* [require random]
 1  (or (require:provided? feature) (let (#) (cond #) ...))
 2* [provided? random]
 3  (if (symbol? feature) (if (memq feature *features*) #t ...) ...)
    ...
 4  (let ((path #)) (cond (# #) (# #t) ...))
 5* [catalog:get random]
 6* (if (not *catalog*) (let (#) (cond #) ...))
 7  (let ((slibcat #)) (cond (# # #)) ...)
 8* (cond (slibcat (set! *catalog* #)))
 9  (set! *catalog* ((slib:eval #) slibcat))
10* ((slib:eval (cadr #)) slibcat)
11* [eval identity]
12* identity
