I got the tarball for guile-1.6.8 and ran configure at the top level. I did this solely to get the documentation.
When I do make pdf from the top, I get (excerpt) make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/tools/guile-1.6.8/doc' Making pdf in ref make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/tools/guile-1.6.8/doc/ref' GUILE="/usr/local/src/tools/guile-1.6.8/pre-inst-guile" ../../scripts/snarf-guile-m4-docs ../../guile-config/guile.m4 autoconf-macros.texi /usr/local/src/tools/guile-1.6.8/pre-inst-guile: line 83: /usr/local/src/tools/guile-1.6.8/libguile/guile: No such file or directory /usr/local/src/tools/guile-1.6.8/pre-inst-guile: line 83: exec: /usr/local/src/tools/guile-1.6.8/libguile/guile: cannot execute: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [autoconf-macros.texi] Error 126 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/tools/guile-1.6.8/doc/ref' It looks as if maybe some other stuff needs to be built first, and the Makefile isn't picking up on it. I'm on a Debian GNU/Linux system; it is unlikely I currently have all packages installed that would be needed for a full build. The tarball is the original one, with no Debian modifications. I posted this to guile-user a few days ago. Someone sent me prebuilt docs (for 1.8 actually, which isn't the one I'm using), along with the information that they built their docs on MS-Windows and could not build them under Linux. That's been the only response, so I figured this might be a real bug and am filing this report. I'm a bit surprised you don't have people enter bugs in the bug tracker; the BUGS file said to send an email like this. -- Ross Boylan wk: (415) 514-8146 185 Berry St #5700 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept of Epidemiology and Biostatistics fax: (415) 514-8150 University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, CA 94107-1739 hm: (415) 550-1062 _______________________________________________ Bug-guile mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-guile
