Like I said, it's not working. No combination works. Here's my PATH

> echo $PATH

/meta/b/borgauf/perl5/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/local/bin:/meta/b/borgauf/opt:/meta/b/borgauf/opt/lib:/meta/b/borgauf/opt/include:/meta/b/borgauf/opt/share:/meta/b/borgauf/opt/emacs/bin

I've unpacked guile in ~/Downloads/guile-2.0.11/

I run

> ./configure --prefix=/meta/b/borgauf/opt

and get

configure: error: GNU libunistring is required, please install it.

The contents of ~/opt/lib are

libunistring.a libunistring.la libunistring.so libunistring.so.2 libunistring.so.2.0.0

The configure script is simply not seeing this -- or it needs something else?

Can I simply do a home install on another machine and copy it over?

If you installed all the goodies under ~/opt why not install guile with —prefix=/my/home/opt ?
