The short answer is that you can't.  C++ libraries use mangled names
and other tweaks that make interfacing them from Scheme very
difficult, perhaps even impossible to do in a portable way.  Your best
shot is to write a small C library that iteracts with the C++ code,
and interface that (the C library) from Scheme.
