AFAICT Debian stretch has the same limitation, but the lilypond package has guile-1.8 and its libs bundled within. Each of the lilypond.org versions also has guile included. Their identically named files have different dates and sizes. > How does on obtain the guile 1.8 needed to build lilypond for Ubuntu 18.10? > Do we have to build from the source repository? If so, what exact release? Perhaps you could install guile and its libs yourself. I haven't checked whether /usr/local/… would suffice or if they have to be in the main library locations.
