I'm starting out with chicken scheme. The code below works in the mit-scheme repl but doesn't with csi. csi has filter defined in the docs but I get an unbound variable error when I run the code below.

#;1> (filter odd? '(1 2 3 ))

Error: unbound variable: filter

    Call history:

    <syntax>          (filter odd? (quote (1 2 3)))
    <syntax>          (quote (1 2 3))
    <syntax>          (##core#quote (1 2 3))
    <eval>    (filter odd? (quote (1 2 3))) <--

Not sure which filter procedure you are referring but it seems one of the filter listed on the doc is only available during macro expansions:

http://api.call-cc.org/doc/bindings#sec:filter

The one you can use in runtime is defined in SRFI-1 library. To use it, you can simply add the following:

(use srfi-1)

filter is defined in the srfi-1 module, so you must first load that module to make it available:
