Re: guile-gnome-0 - guile-1.6.8-6.3 - random crash

Hi David,

I'm happy to help, and glad to hear things are going OK. You probably
have the largest guile-gnome-using apps out there... Also, one of these
three lists is probably enough ;)

I couldn't tell from your backtraces what went on. Be sure to install
the debug packages so that gdb can give symbols.

I just downloaded
http://vychodil.inf.upol.cz/research/development/gtrees/download/gtrees-0.5-alpha.tar.bz2,
and it seems to compile fine against 2.0. I did a (load-extension
"./libgtrees" "define_gtrees_module") and that worked, and then
(use-modules (gtrees-module)) and that worked too.

Perhaps you will be able to skip 1.8 ;-) But it should work with 1.8 as well.

No such luck with guile-pg, it will need patches. I even tried applying
debian's patches to see if that would help, but guile-pg uses gh.h.
Copying Thien-Thi, who appears to be the upstream: what is the right
thing to do here? Get it into a project on savannah in git hosting, no?

Regards,

Andy
