I'm on an AMD64 linux system. I succesfully compiled and installed guile-1.8.7, but when I try to run guile I get the: ERROR: Stack overflow error message, and I can't reach the repl. "make check" however passes smoothly. I read about this: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2009-03/msg00114.html and yes, for me too setting the stack limit to 60'000 in eval.c solves the issue. How can I circumvent/solve this problem without resorting to patching the sources? Tell me if you need any more details about my system setup. I tried today branch_1.8 snapshot to see if the problem is still present, but here "make check" stops with an unrelated error (which probably deserves a different thread).
