Hello Alex and Colin,

i was thinking also at the beginning of an M1 incompatibility but it seems
that my system was just missing some libraries:

libiconv (and before gc (garbage collector) ,libunistring,...)

i first use homebrew but each time i use it , it is useless for
compiling,and i had also to install the libs from source (i suppose the
homeberew lib version do not include headers for dev or something else or
put them in non standart locations...)

i cloned the guile at

git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guile.git

and compile with

./configure --enable-mini-gmp (because i often have problem to install
correctly GMP for any program,not only guile)

and then it missed makeinfo, so i installed texinfo with homebrew this time

and then i continue the 'make' and it worked to compile but now i have

 an error at install i do not understand:

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 weak-set.h weak-table.h weak-vector.h
'/usr/local/include/guile/3.0/libguile'
 .././build-aux/install-sh -c -d '/usr/local/include/guile/3.0/libguile'
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 version.h scmconfig.h
'/usr/local/include/guile/3.0/libguile'
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make  install-data-hook
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644
libguile-3.0-gdb.scm				/usr/local/lib/libguile-3.0.a-gdb.scm
sed: -e: No such file or directory
make[5]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 1
make[4]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2
make[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[2]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2

note: i still have to disable JIT as alex mention it, i will do it at last.


In fact i was using guile 3.0.7. since many years from homebrew but at
some point i needed

 libguile.h for testing interaction from guile and C and the opposite
like in the examples
