Hi!,

I am pretty new to guile, I am trying to install guile-ncurses.

I'm on OpenBSD 7.2

I have installed the guile3 package.
That's the only guile OS package I see.

I was able to install guile-json locally, so I am trying to install 
guile-ncurses
similarly.

I installed automake and set:
export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.69
export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.16
(this was also needed to install guile-json)

I installed libunistring and libtool to get past configure errors.

Now I can configure and make successfully with:
./configure --prefix=/home/wise/guile CC=clang CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' 
LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib'

This is successful.
Now I run make.  

It errors out the first time saying it can't find libguile-ncurses.so
so i:
cd src/ncurses/.libs/ 
ln -s libguile-ncurses.so.12.1 libguile-ncurses.so

now make succeeds.

Now i run make install, and it errors with:
mkdir: /usr/local/share/guile/site/3.0/ncurses: Permission denied

See in my configure I set the prefix ?
This worked for json, which installed into $HOME/guile/...
(And i've used it succesfully in guile code)

Any ideas ?

Happy to give more info or try things and report back.

Thanks!
