Please report problems to guile-devel@gnu.org or bug-guile@gnu.org. Note that the 1.5.X series is a BETA series, intended only for testing, so please don't put it into a distribution or anything similar. This release is only a minor update from 1.5.7 -- guile-snarf has been changed to not require the input file to be the first argument after the optional -o. Apparently this was breaking too many other programs. Since this update was so minor, Marius and I agreed that the release date should remain unchanged. So unless any release critical bugs bugs are found beforehand, the first 1.6 stable version, 1.6.1, will be released on or after this weekend. You can find the beta release here: ftp://ftp.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/pub/guile/ If you're interested in testing, please try as much of the following as is convenient: - Unset GUILE_LOAD_PATH. - Remove automake and autoconf from your path, or turn off their execute bits, or something. (Users must be able to build from the tarfile without installing those tools.) As an example, you could disable the tools during the test like so: mkdir /tmp/stub cat > /tmp/stub/do-nothing <
