But there are some dependencies: GMP, readline and libltdl, if you're happy to use our latest stable release (1.8.6). A few more than this if you want to use our snapshots or forthcoming pre-release of the new 2.0 series. So you would need to install or build these dependencies first, before trying to build Guile. Is that the kind of information you wanted? Please don't hesitate to ask anything further. Neil
