I have the same problem building directly from the 2.0.5 tar file (from the project page) on OS X 10.7.3 ... SNARF posix.doc SNARF net_db.doc SNARF socket.doc SNARF regex-posix.doc GEN guile-procedures.texi guile: uncaught throw to unbound-variable: (#f Unbound variable: ~S (id-15978) # f) Cannot exit gracefully when init is in progress; aborting. I get similar results with 2.0.2. Let me know if you need the full output.
