Re: eval inside let

[Ceri Storey <cez at nomorespam dot freeserve dot co dot uk>]

Thanks. I tried that, but it replies:

guile> (let ((foo 'bar)) (eval '(display foo)))
ERROR: While evaluating arguments to display in expression (display foo):
ERROR: Unbound variable: foo
ABORT: (misc-error)
guile> (let ((foo 'bar)) (local-eval '(display foo)))
ERROR: In procedure local-eval in expression (local-eval (quote #)):
ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 1: (display foo)
ABORT: (wrong-type-arg)

I'd guess i'm missing something here. Any help would be much appreciated.
