And that seems like a bug. I looked at the generated "configure" file and it would seem that (in your case) $HOME/guile-2/include is only added to the command line (via -I $HOME/guile-2/include) if it exists and is a directory. Similarly for $HOME/guile-2/lib. I suspect that was the situation. Since this is a standard autoconf thing and we do nothing special, I have to assume that was the case. Closing optimisitically :) Andy
