Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu 17.04 on an amd64 pc box. Using sudo apt-get install the meep package installs and produces a working binary, but at meep run time an error is produced, and the program stops. The package apparently always includes the latest guile-2.0 version, the latest being guile-2.0.13. If meep and dependencies are compiled from sources, using guile-2.0.11, an error-free meep binary is produced. According to meep maintainers (see meep-discuss email archive, "Installation instructions for meep on Ubuntu 16.04" by Ardavan Oskooi) the problem can be traced to SWIG. Until the problem with SWIG can be fixed, I suggest replacing guile-2.0.13 with guile-2.0.11 in the Ubuntu meep package.
