Guile 1.7.0 and SLIB 2d2: Where is gentemp?

[evi . denzstelle]

Hello,

I'm very new to scheme and ran into a problem while trying to make the
following 
program using SLIB 2b2 work with guile 1.7.0:

(use-modules (ice-9 slib))
(require 'metric-units)
(SI:conversion-factor "km/h" "m/s" )

The expected response would be 3.6, but instead I got the following error:

ERROR: Unbound variable: gentemp
ABORT: (unbound-variable)

After some digging around in the SLIB files, it looked to me, is if gentemp
is a 
function used by few slib modules, which slib expects to be defined. I have
no 
idea, whether this is a standard function or why slib expects it to be
defined.

I also found the slib file Template.scm an implementation for this function.
When I 
copied the definition of gentemp from Template.scm into ice-9/slib.scm, the 
above program works as expected. 

Could someone, who understands how that whole thing is supposed to work, 
please check out that problem and find a proper solution, which then can be 
integrated into either guile or SLIB.


Thank you,


Johannes.
