That's extremely odd, as configure checks for the guile-config executable, and
HAS to get the version number from 'guile-config info guileversion' in order
to pass the Guile check. Let's see where guile-config comes from:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum whatprovides /usr/bin/guile-config
guile-devel.i386 : Libraries and header files for the GUILE extensibility
library.
Please check that you don't have a stale guile-config executable in your
$PATH.

That's correct. However, it is conventional to just say, "Please install
gettext" and assume that since the user is compiling software they will be
aware that the -devel, -dev or other similar package is also required.

Yes, this is one of my bugbears. :) For some reason Fedora's 'install' is
very, very slow.

I'm actually developing on Fedora 7 (I haven't upgraded myself yet). Probably
ought to at some point, but last time I tried it broke my system due to
hardware problems. *rolls eyes*
