Well, I tried, this is a small progress report. First munged
_guile_versions_to_search in nyacc's configure script to contain
2.9.5 (that's what my guile --version says). Configure bails
out with:

  configure: error: found development files for Guile 2.9.5, but /usr/local/bin/guile has effective version 3.0

(FWIW, there's an /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/guile-3.0.pc). Now
setting _guile_versions_to_search in said script bails out with

  checking for Guile version >= 3.0... configure: error: Guile 3.0 required, but 2.9.5 found

So it seems my Guile is schizophrenic: under some aspect it
reports 3.0 ("effective" version), under some aspect it's
2.9.5 (--version version, to put some name on it).

I haven't given up yet, though :-)

Cheers & thanks
