You're true if there are any visible changes after adding libguile as BuildRequires; however in this case it isn't true. There's no change at all; you still need to give extra configure flags before guile support is activated. And even after guile support is manually added, it does compile one (or 2) more example binaries, which are not bundled with libgtop binary package at all. Hence, adding guile-devel is not much different than adding, say, libusb-devel. Just no effect at all. If there's some unspoken special need to add guile-devel, then I wouldn't object to this; just that I feel it's completely redundant. Abel
