Hi All,
I maintain an add-on package to Guile. I have a user reporting the
following
WARNING:
;;; compiling /usr/share/guile/site/2.2/nyacc/lang/c99/ffi-help.scm
;;; WARNING: compilation of
/usr/share/guile/site/2.2/nyacc/lang/c99/ffi-help.scm failed:

"/usr/share/guile/site/2.2/nyacc/lang/c99/ffi-help.scm"
So my part of my package, including the file above, depends on
scheme-bytestructures.
If, on installation (presumably as root), bytestructures is not found,
then only the
sources are installed. Now it seems a user has bytestructures in his
own path and
now he wants to use ffi-help, but it's not getting compiled. I would
expect
Guile to compile and install in the user's .cache directory if write
to a root-owned
directory (e.g., /usr/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache) fails.
Am I missing something? Should this be reported as a bug?
I could not reproduce this warning, so I'm thinking it may be unique to this
user.
