Guile is the GNU peoples Scheme system.
I every now and then test LAML with Guile on Red Hat Linux. Specifically, we use RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 4. The version of Guile is 1.6.4
Everything in LAML works fine with Guile. Maybe due to the use of R5RS macros, (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)), Guile 1.6 is rather slow with LAML. MzScheme is much faster!
The use of Guile on Linux may be convenient for many Linux users, because Guile is probably present on your Linux machine already. Try call guile form the command prompt, with the -v option to find out about which version you have. Use which guile to find out where it is located in the file system.
I have experienced that older versions (1.3 and 1.4) of Guile also work well with LAML on Linux. But they are not tested with LAML 26.
