 6.1 The Basic Guile Package
 ===========================
 
 Guile can be obtained from the main GNU archive site
 `ftp://ftp.gnu.org' or any of its mirrors.  The file will be named
 guile-version.tar.gz.  The current version is 1.6.5, so the file you
 should grab is:
 
    `ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile-1.6.5.tar.gz'
 
    To unbundle Guile use the instruction
 
      zcat guile-1.6.5.tar.gz | tar xvf -
 
    which will create a directory called `guile-1.6.5' with all the
 sources.  You can look at the file `INSTALL' for detailed instructions
 on how to build and install Guile, but you should be able to just do
 
      cd guile-1.6.5
      ./configure
      make
      make install
 
    This will install the Guile executable `guile', the Guile library
 `-lguile' and various associated header files and support libraries. It
 will also install the Guile tutorial and reference manual.
 
    Since this manual frequently refers to the Scheme "standard", also
 known as R5RS, or the "Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language
 Scheme", we have included the report in the Guile distribution; 
 Introduction (r5rs)Top.  This will also be installed in your info
 directory.
