 hello guile users
  i'm trying to configure guile-1.8.4 on my unix-system (gcc 3.4.3 Mandrakelinux 10.2) but i've got this
  message:

  checking for makeinfo... yes

Can you please send us the resulting `config.log' file?

Also, can you try compiling the code below:

  typedef char ac__type_sizeof_;
  int
  main ()
  {
    static int test_array [1 - 2 * !(((long int) (sizeof (ac__type_sizeof_))) <= $ac_mid)];
    test_array [0] = 0;
    return 0;
  }

Just run "gcc -c the-file.c".

Thanks in advance,
Ludovic.

I don't think that code will even compile. What is $ac_mid? Is it a valid C
statement?

Hmm, good point.  ;-)

Anyway, forget the previous message, it's this code that you should try
to compile and run:

  typedef char ac__type_sizeof_;
  static long int longval () { return (long int) (sizeof (ac__type_sizeof_)); }
  static unsigned long int ulongval () { return (long int) (sizeof (ac__type_sizeof_)); }
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  int
  main ()
  {

    FILE *f = fopen ("conftest.val", "w");
    if (! f)
      return 1;
    if (((long int) (sizeof (ac__type_sizeof_))) < 0)
      {
        long int i = longval ();
        if (i != ((long int) (sizeof (ac__type_sizeof_))))
          return 1;
        fprintf (f, "%ld\n", i);
      }
    else
      {
        unsigned long int i = ulongval ();
        if (i != ((long int) (sizeof (ac__type_sizeof_))))
          return 1;
        fprintf (f, "%lu\n", i);
      }
    return ferror (f) || fclose (f) != 0;

    ;
    return 0;
  }

At any rate, I'm sure `config.log' will give us a good idea of what's
wrong.

Thanks in advance,
Ludovic.

Hi again,

(In the meantime, Mahmoud sent me his `config.log'.)

Your `config.log' reads this:

  configure:22969: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lltdl  >&5
  configure:22972: $? = 0
  configure:22978: ./conftest
  ./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  configure:22981: $? = 127
  configure: program exited with status 127

This means that `libltdl' is not in your `LD_LIBRARY_PATH', probably
because it is install in a "non-standard" location (i.e., neither under
`/lib' nor under `/usr/lib').

The fix is to adjust your `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' (or `/etc/ld.so.conf')
accordingly.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
