Yes. Unfortunately, there is no trivial way out of the problem. I think the proper solution is for guile (and any other package that installs its own config.h file) to "prefix" the defines: http://ac-archive.sf.net/Miscellaneous/ac_create_prefix_config_h.html and use those #define-d values from their installed config header. It would be "good" to prominently document the importance of this in the autoconf docs. Meanwhile, we have a problem.... > I finally get to the compile of agen5/cgi-fsm.c and find cgi-fsm.h > missing. Is this supposed to be generated?

No. cgi-fsm.c is under CVS because it contains some edited source, though it is mostly generated. Looks like I left cgi-fsm.h off the list of generated source. Sorry. It will be updated in a few minutes. I'll also send it as an attachment under separate cover. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
