Then I think the problem is in test.scm (the sample robot program.)
This uses a "while" statement to grab all the prizes along a row
of prizes.  Let's ignore the problem with the unbound "while" for
now, and first get to a point where GNU Robots is working for you.

Save this as test.scm in the src/ directory:

;;; grab a single prize
(define (grab-prize)
  (robot-grab)
  (robot-move 1)
)

(grab-prize)
(grab-prize)




This is just an excerpt of the test.scm, and should grab two prizes,
and move ahead two spaces.  I called "grab-prize" twice so there
will be enough of a delay that you can see whether or not it worked.
