Re: problems in guile installation,help me

[Jon Wilson <j85wilson@fastmail.fm>]

Hi Gopi,
Try adding, in eval.c, a line just before line 44, which is as follows:

#undef alloca

See if that works.  If so, I would file a bug report, with details about 
your BSD system, and what you had to do to make it work.

I'm doubtful that this is a real solution to the underlying problem, but 
it should be a quick fix that gets you up and running with guile.
Regards,
Jon
