The INSTALL file is included in our tarball releases. It is missing only from a pristine git checkout. The instructions included in it won't work from a pristine git checkout anyway. Like the ./configure script and several other important components of the build system, INSTALL is created by the GNU autotools when you run ./autogen.sh. We intentionally omit the results of running ./autogen.sh in our git repository, because they are not part of Guile's source code. The HACKING file includes instructions for building from a pristine git checkout. I'm closing this bug. Thanks anyway :) Mark
