I've been planning to take over as guile maintainer and upgrade the package to 1.6.1 since one of the packages that I maintain depends on it.
Unfortunately, other (work) commitments have delayed my guile progress (and progress on upgrading other packages) :(. If I recall correctly, the compilation process was pretty straightforward .. the main difficulty was in the upgrade process:
If a user had libguile already installed, the link command for the guile executable would use the installed library rather than the newly compiled local version. And the link would fail due to missing symbols (to be expected).
I would imagine that this would be a common problem for many packages, but I haven't seen it addressed before, and I haven't been able to investigate a solution. That's all I have. If you have an urgent need, you might try compiling it yourself.
Hope that helps a little,

Hello, I'm interested in using the latest version of Guile Scheme (1.6.1) on my brand new OSX machine. There is currently a Fink port of Guile 1.4.6, but unfortuantely this older version does not have the features I need. I'm wondering if there are plans to update Fink's Guile package to the lastest version?
thanks for any information,
