Indeed, the example code in the manual is bad. Thanks for bringing this
to our attention.

As John correctly pointed out, it's an error to mutate a program
literal. It's analogous to trying to modify a string literal in C.
'assoc-set!' mutates the existing list structure in some cases, and so
it cannot be used on literals such as the one above.
To initialize an alist that will be mutated, you must instead do
something like this:
(define capitals (list (cons "New York" "Albany")
(cons "Oregon" "Salem")
(cons "Florida" "Miami")))

Yes, that accomplishes essentially the same thing, although note that
quasiquote makes an effort to use program literals for parts of the
resulting list structure, e.g.:
`(,a ,b c d)
expands to:
(cons a (cons b '(c d)))
which means that the first two cons cells can be mutated, but the last
two are part of an immutable program literal.

Indeed, the manual needs to be fixed. Sorry for the confusion, and
thanks again for the bug report.

The error is valid, because you are attempting to mutate a program
literal. Scheme makes that an error, and Guile enforces it (though many
Schemes do not).

This fails with code pulled straight out of the Guile manual example (secti=
on 6.6.20.6).
(define capitals '(("New York" . "Albany")
("Oregon" . "Salem")
("Florida" . "Miami")))
Okay, that works define to define alist capitals. Now let's try another par=
t of the example:
(set! capitals
(assoc-set! capitals "Florida" "Tallahassee"))
This yields the error:
ERROR: In procedure assoc-set!:
In procedure set-cdr!: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting mutable=
pair): ("Florida" . "Miami")
I've experienced this behavior with builds of both Guile 2.2.2 and Guile 2.=
2.4.
I'll note that if you define the alist so its initial contents are defined =
using a quasiquote and the cons form instead of dot notation, this error is=
not reached. I'm not sure if the error is valid or not, but in any case, t=
he code that produces is listed as an valid example in the manual, so that =
doesn't seem right.
