How do I use SRFI-1 in Guile?

Question

I am trying to use srfi-1 in guile. I used the following code to include the srfi:
(use-modules (srfi srfi-1))

However, I get an error saying that srfi is probably undefined. How should I used srfi?

I tried googling this problem, but it seems that I am the first person with this problem.

It works for me with Guile 2.0.11. What version of Guile are you using? — Nate C-K, Feb 22 '15 at 10:52
I've posted an answer in the module case. But if you're actually writing a standalone program, make sure that the `use-modules` is at the top level, and isn't misspelt (e.g., as `use-module` or the like). — C. K. Young, Feb 22 '15 at 16:41

(use-modules (srfi srfi-1)) is indeed the correct way to import SRFI 1, in top-level programs and in the REPL.

However, based on your previous question, I believe you may actually be writing a module instead, in which case the syntax is a little different. You'd use #:use-module (srfi srfi-1) inside your define-module. Example:

(define-module (my module)
  #:use-module (srfi srfi-1)
  ;; rest of the module declaration here
  )
