Whether this is a bug or not can be discussed. Guile has its own module system which should be used for Guile programs. The purpose of the Guile slib interface (ice-9 slib) is only to make slib packages available to the user. Example: To access the `random' library, type (use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'random) `library-vicinity' is defined within the (ice-9 slib) module so that the slib code can see it, but it isn't exported. Currently, I can't see any reason why it should be exported, except possibly for the case when you are developing a new slib library in Guile. Why do you want to access `library-vicinity'? /mdj
