OK, so the respository given in the previous email with bora "user" I could not find. Not even surfing to the URL given and then going down each directory do I find a user directory that. My apologies for being dense here, but with this given line:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras bora user
In the application manager I put the http address and then the dist I put the bora and then the components I put user...correct?

If I surf to that URL and look under bora/.../free directory the packages file there does seem to have a guile in there, but when I add that repository and path, and refresh, guile doesn't show up as one of the possible applications to install. This obviously has to be pilot error as others have used the repository fine, so it must be something I am missing. Sorry, I need a bit more assistance.
