Dale Smith= , many thanks. For the record [and other users following this list maybe], my prob= lem was that I did set PKG_CONFIG=3Dtrue while compiling guile. This leads to a 'br= oken' guile-config script which prevents any S/W depending on Guile (unless the S/W in question bypasses guile-config) to later correctly build itself. In order to check that guile-config is 'ok' with respect to pkg-config, you= may do this [depending on the location of guile-config of course]: grep %pkg-config-program /usr/local/bin/guile-config If you manually build 'things' you may also want to check your ACLOCAL_FLAGS variable [once more depending on your --prefix settings at guile compile ti= me]: export ACLOCAL_FLAGS=3D"-I /usr/local/share/aclocal" Thanks for the IRC debug help and support, Cheers, David
