Right. I did fix one instance of this issue, but there was another that I got somewhat nervous about trying to fix (I was worried I'd break something inadvertently...) But my memory is a bit imprecise now. Anyhow, it sounds like you may have fixed it here: > Actually, like you wrote, Guile 2.2.3 reports such errors nicely, so > it was easy to fix. > Current ‘master’ works well for me with Guile 2.2. Could you give it > a try and report back? I'm at a workshop now and may not find enough time to investigate too carefully until next week, so for now I'm mainly responding to say "thanks, I got your message!" I did manage to build and install the skribilo-from-git that you mentioned via updated master. (I'm not at all git-competent, so I cloned a new image. There was no configure script, and I then had to guess at how to accomplish the autoconf/automake magic. I think in the end I did "./autoreconf --install" and afterwards things worked(?) Though I may have copied some of the infrastructure from my older skribilo image... At any rate, in the end it built and installed.) And e.g. it built and installed a new ".info" version of the manual, so at least some of the errors are now gone. But earlier, in addition to the problems while building, I was getting the "mutability errors" while running various guile scripts that I've written which use skribilo. And so far I haven't confirmed whether all those issues are resolved. I'll let you know, though! Thanks again for the email.
