`defstruct' as described in this document is something specific to some
Scheme implementation.  The chapter you saw in Guile's manual is another
non-portable way to define structures, in Guile this time.

The most portable way to define structures is to use SRFI-9:

  http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-9/srfi-9.html

It is available in Guile using "(use-modules (srfi srfi-9))" or
"(require-extension (srfi 9))" (the latter being the portable way to get
the portable "structures"  :-)).

Hope this helps,
Ludovic.
