Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for your help.

I am following the recipe but have hit trouble at the configure stage:

$./configure --localstatedir=/var
.
.
.
configure: error: Guile-Git is missing; please install it.

This takes me back to the libgit2 unavailability problem.  I have not
been able to find a way to provide a sufficient build environment (I
have upgraded the OS to Ubuntu 18.04 in the meantime).  

Any suggestions?

Paul.
