Thanks Aubrey,

I get:

>

> (define impl:require require)


Error: eval: unbound variable
Error Object: require

instead of that I tried:

> (define (impl:require symbol) (require symbol))
impl:require

-> No error reported
> (slib:load (in-vicinity (library-vicinity) "require"))
>   
> (slib:load (in-vicinity (library-vicinity) "require"))

Loading "/usr/share/slib/require.scm"
Done.

     (impl:require arg)
     (slib:require arg)))

require

Everything seems fine. Now I tired to use slib:

> (require 'new-catalog)

Error: wta(1st) to symbol->string
Error Object: 'new-catalog

Seems like it still uses the systems require instead of slib once.

I tried to find out more about my implementations "require. This is the 
output before loading any slib init-File:

> (require)

Error: eval: unbound variable
Error Object: sym

> (require foo.scm)

Error: load-file: file not found
Error Object: "foo.scm"

> (require 'foo.scm)

Error: wta(1st) to symbol->string
Error Object: 'foo.scm

> (require "foo.scm")

Error: wta(1st) to symbol->string
Error Object: "foo.scm"

Seems like implementatins require expects an "unquoted symbol" - 
whatever this is.

Thanks Bastian
