We are pleased to annouce the availability of Guile 1.5.6 for testing.
The 1.5.X series is a BETA series, intended only for testing, so please don't put it into a distribution or anything similar. Once we've hammered out any serious bugs, we'll make the stable release of 1.6.1. You can find the file here: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-1.5.6.tar.gz If you're interested in testing, please try as much of the following as is convenient: * Unset GUILE_LOAD_PATH. * Remove automake and autoconf from your path, or turn off their execute bits, or something. (Users must be able to build from the tarfile without installing those tools.) * Configure, "make", "make check", and "make install". Make sure to remove your previous install tree before the "make install". * Make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't include anything unnecessary. * Run the test suite on the installed version. ./check-guile -i [INSTALL_PATH]/bin/guile * Look at the install tree (with "find | sort" or similar) and make sure nothing seems obviously amiss. * Check that the dependencies in guile-readline/Makefile look OK. (We currently use a kludge which edits the dependencies generated by automake so that Guile can be built in a directory separate from the source tree also with non-GNU make programs.) * Make sure readline works. * You might try the example code in the doc directory.
