+Installing SLIB ===========================================================
+
+In order to use SLIB from Guile you basically only need to put the
+`slib' directory _in_ one of the directories on Guile's load path.
+
+The standard installation is:
+
+  1. Obtain slib from http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/SLIB.html
+
+  2. Put it in Guile's data directory, that is the directory printed when
+     you type
+
+       guile-config info pkgdatadir
+
+     at the shell prompt.  This is normally `/usr/local/share/guile', so the
+     directory will normally have full path `/usr/local/share/guile/slib'.
+
+  3. Start guile as a user with write access to the data directory and type
+
+       (use-modules (ice-9 slib))
+
+     at the Guile prompt.  This will generate the slibcat catalog next to
+     the slib directory.
+
+SLIB's `require' is provided by the Guile module (ice-9 slib).
+
+Example:
+
+  (use-modules (ice-9 slib))
+  (require 'primes)
+  (prime? 7)
