I've made installation attempts for guile-1.5.6 on 13+ different UNIX platforms, with a few successes (GNU/Linux systems), and several failures, either of the build, or of parts of the test suite. A brief summary is given below; details, including full build logs, are available on request. Builds were done with the usual recipe
