Hi Jason, thatanks for taking a look.  I spent some time today digging 
into the "make check" errors and it turns out that there are some 
deprecated guile bits which are:

  SCM_STRINGP is deprecated.  Use scm_is_string instead.
  SCM_LENGTH is deprecated.  Use scm_c_string_length instead, 
    for example, or see the manual.
  SCM_STRING_LENGTH is deprecated.  Use scm_c_string_length instead.
  SCM_CHARS is deprecated.  See the manual for alternatives.
  SCM_STRING_CHARS is deprecated.  See the manual for alternatives.

The interesting thing is that these deprecated bits *ONLY* appear
in the the file "libmatheval-1.1.3/tests/matheval.c" and nowhere else 
in the actual libmatheval code.

So it appears that there are some deprecated bits only in the testing 
code that then triggers some warnings that then causes one of the tests 
(test number 5) to "fail" (although the test actually works, it just 
emits a bunch of these warnings so that the test script *thinks* that 
it has failed).

In any case, I'll report the deprecated bits in the testing code to 
the upstream folks.  But I see no reason to do anything else since 
there appear to be no other deprecated (or otherwise broken) bits in 
any of the actual library code.

Here's an update that includes the BR: texinfo
