That worked!!! Geez! That was so simple and I found no such info by
googling. Hopefully this time being on the mailing list someone with this
same issue will find that info.

One small detail though, the detected version of guile is 1.4 but what I
built should be showing something like 1.8.6 right?

Trying to build autogen again now, the configure finally succeeded.
