You can try going from the guile cvs, either the head or the branch_release-1-6, and have a look at autogen.sh. Modest fixes can get into the 1.6 branch, major surgery will have to wait for the head and the next major release. > Should I just manually change configure and send in the diff? No, not configure, but you can advise what's needed for configure.in. _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
