I agree that guile-config should be honest *by default*, but if I explicitly express that I want to refer to Guile's files via a different path than the one guile-config already knows about, why make it any harder for me than it has to be? It's much easier for guile-config to output a different path than it is for me to fix it afterwards; I would have to delve into the internals of each package that uses guile-config. paul _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
