Re: any ideas on undefined reference

[Jon Wilson <j85wilson@fastmail.fm>]

Hi Gopi,
Also, we would like the solutions to your problems with:
 - crt1.o undefined reference to main
 - alloca
 - libltdl not found
These would all be exceedingly useful to us.

You have mentioned libgraph again.  What does libgraph have to do with 
this?  Are you installing guile, or are you installing libgraph?  Yes, 
you might desire to do both, but please let us not confuse the issue by 
conflating the two.

"The path which libgraph chooses to put all the guile execution files is 
/usr/local/bin"

This makes no sense.  Libgraph does not install guile, or if it does, 
then any problems with libgraph's installation of guile should properly 
be taken up with the libgraph people, not with us.  They might then come 
to us for help figuring out how to make their installer work, but if 
their installer does not work, then that is their concern, not directly 
ours.  How are you attempting to install guile?  I (and everyone else I 
suspect) have been working from the assumption that you have downloaded 
the guile-1.8.1 source tarball from 
"http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile/guile-1.8.1.tar.gz", unpacked it into 
a fresh directory, moved into that directory, run ./configure, make, and 
make install.  Is this what you have done?  If so, then what does 
libgraph have to do with anything?

I have been attempting to help you solve your problems with really a 
bare minimum of information, but I seem to have run up against a wall.  
If you do not provide clear and detailed information about what you are 
trying to do and how you are trying to go about doing it, I am afraid I 
will not really be able to help you any further.  I am sorry to be a 
little bit harsh, but I feel that that is better than simply giving up 
and ignoring any further requests for help.
Regards,
Jon
