Thanks. Here's that output: dpkg -l guile\* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-f/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/t-aWait/T-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-======================-======================-============================================================ un guile <none> (no description available) ii guile-1.6 1.6.8-6ubuntu1 The GNU extension language and Scheme interpreter un guile-1.6-doc <none> (no description available) ii guile-1.6-libs 1.6.8-6ubuntu1 Main Guile libraries ii guile-1.6-slib 1.6.8-6ubuntu1 Guile SLIB support ii guile-1.8 1.8.1+1-5 The GNU extension language and Scheme interpreter ii guile-1.8-dev 1.8.1+1-5 Development files for Guile 1.8 ii guile-1.8-doc 1.8.1+1-5 Documentation for Guile 1.8 ii guile-1.8-doc-non-dfsg 1.8.1+1-2 Reference documentation for Guile 1.8 (non-DFSG items) ii guile-1.8-libs 1.8.1+1-5 Main Guile libraries ii guile-g-wrap 1.9.6-3.2 scripting interface generator for C - Guile runtime ii guile-gnome0-glib 2.7.99-4 Guile bindings for GLib ii guile-library 0.1.2-1 Library of useful Guile modules hmmm - noticed somethihng strange. slib supporrt is listed for guile 1.6, but not 1.8. earched synaptic for slib and guile. slib is listed only for 1.6 not 1.8. So it would seem that slib for 1.6 only is available and installed, but not 1.8 Could that be the problem?? Maybe configure is looking for the latest version only, 1.8, and since slib isn't available for 1.8, configure is unable to find slib ????? Does that make sense?? Version 1.8 available without slib support??
