So you should be able to move them between different little-endian or big-endian machines (unless I'm wrong). But it seems much safer to me to just compile things. You shouldn't have to do it more than once unless you develop Guile. Good luck, Noah On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 9:15 PM, CRLF0710 wrote: > Guile 2.0 has been there for some time.
