I suggested (on IRC) that he run "autoreconf -i --force --verbose" (the only important thing in autogen.sh) and it seems to have worked properly and created a working configure script. Some other notes on FreeBSD, while the knowledge is fresh: On FreeBSD, the "boehm-gc" package is compiled without threading support. To support threads, the "boehm-gc-threaded" package is needed, which installs the library with a nonstandard name -lgc-threaded, so BDW_GC_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lgc-threaded" must be passed to configure. Maybe some of this should go into a README, but first I should ask: z_axis: did these steps produce a working Guile on FreeBSD 9.1? Thanks, Mark
