Inline currently doesn't really support Guile. The current Inline-Guile 0.001 says it requires Guile version 1.5.0. Rpmfind shows _no_ rpm distributions above 1.4.8.
So almost no-one can currently CPAN Inline::Guile and have it work. A source build of guile is required. The Guile download directory http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile/ doesn't have a 1.5.anything. Apparently Guile versions with an odd middle number, i.e. 1.5.* are unstable development versions. Guile 1.6.0 is dated 2002-09-05. And Inline-Guile 0.001 doesn't "make test" with Guile 1.6.0. :( Now that there is 1.6.0, a >1.5.0 stable release, perhaps it's time to revisit Inline::Guile? Re 0.44, So, apparently Inline::Guile currently requires a source build of an old unstable development version of guile, available only from CVS. I haven't tried it. Perhaps 0.44 should mention that Guile support is currently iffy. Just to save others from going down this path. Mitchell
