[Chicken-users] Problems with the "dollar" egg.

[Daniel Carrera]

Hello,

I installed Chicken for the first time last night and today I'm starting to play with it. I installed the "dollar" egg and I'm having some trouble:

http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/dollar

I tried the example on that page, and this is what I got:

--------------//--------------

#;1> ($ printf "%d times Hello, %s!\n" 1000 "world")

Error: unbound variable: foreign-lambda*

Call history:

<syntax>  ($ printf "%d times Hello, %s!\n" 1000 "world")

--------------//--------------

So, my guess is that I need to load something else to get foreign-lambada ?

I am currently loading the module with (require-extension dollar) which I have inserted into my ~/.csirc file. The only other modules I'm loading by default are readline and irregex.

I would welcome any pointers.

Cheers,

Daniel.
