Hi folks,

I'm attempting and failing to compile Guile 1.9.13 from git.

I checked out the `release_1-9-13', ran `./autogen.sh' and `./configure',
but `make' fails with:


  GEN    guile-procedures.texi
Backtrace:
In unknown file:
   ?: 12 [boot-closure #t #<catch-closure a8f5200> ...]
   ?: 11 [catch-closure]

   ?: 9 [boot-closure ((@ # %) (begin # # #))]

   ?: 0 [catch-closure read-error "skip_block_comment" ...]

ERROR: In procedure skip_block_comment:

make[3]: *** [guile-procedures.texi] Error 1


Am I missing something?

Cheers,

                               Peter

In my tree, guile-tools is in the "meta" subdirectory, and I don't see
where a path of ".../guile/guile-tools" could come from.  Did you "git
clone" into a new directory?

Bizarrely, `git clean -f -x' followed by following the same steps
resulted in no error.  So yeah, that was odd.  Not sure what happened
there.
