Hi Federico,
T= hat is odd, on my Debian "wheezy" system, the debian packaged gui= le is a symbolic link /usr/bin/guile to
/etc/alternatives/guile, = which in turn is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/guile-2.0 . What returns from = the command "which guile" on your system ?

The metho= d I have tended to use, which may not be the ideal way, but works for my pu= rposes is
to create a dir, /usr/local/guile2 and then
./= configure --prefix=3D/usr/local/guile2
make && make install
<= br>
I like this method, as when further releases come out, for ex= ample 2.0.12, I can simply create
another dir, for example, /= usr/local/guile2012

I have geiser with emacs insta= lled, so in my .emacs I have
(setq geiser-guile-binary "/usr/= local/guile2/bin/guile")


Kind Reg= ards,
Vernon Oberholzer

Hi,

I'm on Debian 7.6 with guile-2.0.5 installed. I would like to install a newer version of guile. Therefore I downloaded 2.0.11 and installed
in /usr/local with

./configure
make
sudo make install

Everything appeared to be fine. However, with my surprise, when I
started the newly installed guile with

$ /usr/local/bin/guile

I was greeted with

GNU Guile 2.0.5-deb+1-3
Copyright (C) 1995-2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
...

which correspond to the version provided by the Debian package.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to have two guile versions
on the same system?

Regards,
Fede
