I was trying to build Guile 2.0, but I stubbed my toe on "Oh, you haven't installed libunistring". So, I found one and installed it:
checking for LIBFFI... configure: error: Package requirements (libffi) were not met: No package 'libffi' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you Which is precisely why I don't like building packages and prefer to rely on distributions. Someone else has already chased through all the cascading dependencies. I've googled for "guile 2.0 dependencies" and meandered the software/guile pages, but the build prerequisites are not clearly laid out. Here is my project's pre-release: http://autogen.sourceforge.net/data/ It depends on Guile and a Bourne shell, though preferably bash. "gperf" and "libxml2" are also nice, but not required. I think it works with Guile 2.0 now, but I cannot test it. :(
