Thank you again, David. I followed your installation instructions, and with a few warnings, your hello-world example (eventually) ran. I can submit what I saw to the bug-g-g...@gnu.org address.
I also got clipboard.scm to run, with one error. I think for Jessica's and Ricardo's sakes, and because it's the right thing to do, we can close bug #57379 and carry on elsewhere.
