    I've been trying to learn to use define-glue and its variants, and wrote some simple tests such as:

    (define-glue (printf) {printf( "hello!\n" ); RETURN0();})

    which have worked fine.  However, over the weekend, define-glue has become broken and instead gives me error messages.  This is illustrated below:

    RScheme (v0.7.3.2a, 2003-02-12-12:47)
    Copyright (C) 1995-1999 Donovan Kolbly <d.kolbly@rscheme.org>
    RScheme comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
    type ",warranty" for details; type ",help" for some help
    top[0]=>(define-glue (printf) {printf("hello!\n"); RETURN0();})
    error: special-form description `*not-available*' unknown
    break[0]=>

    I am using the version in CVS on sourceforge, although I tried building the 0.7.3.1 version on rscheme.org and had the same problem.  I'm very confused about how it suddenly stopped working, any advice is appreciated.

      After a couple of days of searching in the wrong place, I figured out the answer.  The package for the interactive define-glue is in the "library" module in CVS.  Checkout that module, build it per the README, and you'll get the interactive define-glue merged into your fasl image.
