Two possibilities: 1. Install guile 1.6. 2. If your distro has a package for gwave, use it. Sorry, but that is the only way I know that works. It is a known problem. If it was my project, or if I knew anything about guile, I would fix it, fast. It is one of the problems with compiling from source. Too often, there is a dependency on a particular version of something. Another .. too often, the different versions cannot coexist on the same system. What is in question here is the development files. If you must compile it yourself, go ahead and install guile-1.6-dev. If it insists on removing guile-1.8-dev, go ahead and do it. You can put them back when you need them. It is only an issue for compiling. Once you have compiled gwave, you can go back to guile-1.8. Is there anyone here who knows guile and is willing to fix it so it works with both versions? If it can't be made to work with both, the new version only is preferred over the old version only. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
