Hi

A few more bug reports regarding autogen-5.9.1:

1) A followup on the problem with the signal handler setup program
   in the agen5/autogen.c main() function: I found that the crash happens
   in the atexit function doneCheck() when calling
                           ag_scm_c_eval_string_from_file_line()
   which is in file agen5/expGuile.c and crashes when calling scm_read()
   for the first time. Thus, the fault may be in guile. Could there be
   an incompatibility with version guile-1.8.1 or maybe something went
   wrong when I built guile? (that was problematic enough, anyway...)

2) the README file says that there is an option "--with-libguile-link=..."
   but this is ignored and the configure file seems to contain only
   "--with-libguile-libs=..." (last 2 letters different!)

3) Some, but not all linking steps and especially not all tests seem to
   listen to the above "--with-libguile-libs=" option. Therefore, it is
   necessary to also (or only) set
     LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/guile -L/usr/local/somethingelse -lguile -lltdl -ldl"
   or similar. In case of a shared build, you then also have to have these in
     LD_LIBRARYPATH="/usr/local/guile:/usr/local/somethingelse"
   or similar.
   In case that fully implementing "--with-libguile-libs=..." is a waste
   of time, maybe one could get rid of it alltogether and change the
   instruction in the README? (to use LDFLAGS)

4) In Solaris, -lgen is needed for linking anything that contains "pathfind",
   which seems to be correctly detected by configure but not included in all
   the link steps.
   Also, it lives in /usr/ccs/lib/libgen.* so that LDFLAGS may also need
   to contain -L/usr/ccs/lib ? Maybe it also depends on which locations
   your gcc configuration looks for by default, and not just on the Solaris
   version.

5) Testing fails with getopt.test when autogen is already installed, need
   to uninstall first. This is probably the same as the only bug that is
   currently active in the Bug Tracking list. Maybe put the info in README
   as long as the problem persists?

Greetings,
Arto
