Any suggestions?
This might be tricky with guile-gtk. I don't know what state these
bindings are in. The last time I looked guile-gtk was only for gtk+ 1.2.x.
However, it looks like guile-gnome might be more current. I would hate
to introduce a forced dependancy on gnome.
Despite the name, guile-gnome does not _require_ gnome, but will check
for it and use it to build gnome bindings if available. If gnome isn't
present, it builds into glib- and gtk+-only bindings.
A few years ago I experimented with using guile-gtk from within gschem,
and once guile-gtk is installed, it "just worked" from gschem. But I
can't find any of that hackery now.
Installing guile-gtk is harder than it should be, however. It doesn't
ship with nearly as many distributions as guile, but doesn't work without
extra fiddling unless installed into the same prefix as guile itself.
Reportedly the guile folks are working to improve package installation
under guile-1.8.
