That is a problem: a bug in the compiler. I'm afraid there is nothing
I can do about it. I have complained to Manuel some time ago. I would
suggest reposting your message to a bigloo mailing list (if any) or
sending it to Manuel. I have observed that the latter versions of
Bigloo compiler (and the interpreter) cannot handle the code that
other Scheme systems (and even older versions of Bigloo itself)
can. Also, the latest versions of the Bigloo system will have trouble
with R5RS macros. Now that Gambit 4.0-beta completely integrated
portable syntax-case, Bigloo remains the only major Scheme system that
doesn't fully support R5RS macros [Note: Macros-that-work, a subset of
R5RS macros supported by Bigloo, is _not_ a compliant implementation
of R5RS macros, by a public admission of the Macros-that-work author].


Bigloo is not the only one compiling Scheme system, and not the only
one that provides interface with C or C++. Perhaps you might wish to
take a look at Chicken,
	www.call-with-current-continuation.org
There are also Gauche, Scheme48, PLT Scheme, etc. In these systems,
SSAX/SXML is already integrated. You will need some `require', 'use',
`import' or a similar directive to import SSAX into your module.  You
might wish to try the examples you find in
	SSAX/examples
directory in the SSAX CVS repository. Please see the README and the
Makefile in that directory for explanations.

> 4. It will be really helpful if  I can get a user manual for SSAX.
Have you tried some of the tutorials listed on the SSAX home page
http://ssax.sf.net, for example, the one by Noel Welsh:

	Cheers,
	Oleg
