Not having the .go files is OK. Whitespace stripping is a remnant from the 1.8 and earlier days, where doing that would speed things up (!). I guess it’s done by running ‘guile-tools punify’, so probably you just need to patch Makefile.in to replace that with ‘true’ or similar. > - I couldn't get tests to work because it was either looking to start a > database connection or use one that existed, and neither of those > worked, so I disabled tests.

Either there’s a configure option to pass a different installation directory, or you’ll have to patch Makefile.in, or to move files after installation. No actual patch from me, but I hope this helps! :-) Ludo’.
