Compiling from GIT

[Hans Aberg <haberg-1@telia.com>]

> I made a new system installation, and now the GIT version does not generate 'configure'. I thought one should just run ./autogen.sh; however, this fails, because autoconf (called via autoreconf in this script) cannot find gettext.m4, which is in /usr/local/share/aclocal/, which should be copied into ./m4/.

I was able to fix this problem by copying the files to m4 (cp /usr/local/share/aclocal/* m4/). For some reason, autoconf does not copy them.

However, when compiling it, and also guile-1.9.15, I get segmentation fault (as below) in the compiler (Mac OS X 10.6.6 x86-64 Xcode 3.2.5). This does not happen in a somewhat older guile-1.9.8.
