ok, I installed the second degree/prequisites of the first except guile which is requirement of the first prequisites but it is asking me guile=1.6 and i installed guile-1.6.0-1mdk.rpm and this suppose to provide it but it is still asking me guile=1.6, Is there a special different pack guile=1.6 or i did install the right rpm. If not how could i install from "guile-1.6.0.tar.gz" If i could install from tar.gz would that be ok or i still need to find guile=1.6?
