First off, I followed your page at http://www.ghz.cc/charles/fink/ to configure my system to use the 'unstable' branch, and then followed instructions from these guys: http://fink.sodan.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ item/14 to add in their binary package tree. I ran a fink selfupdate, and then a fink install geda-bundle.
This pulled in guile16 and the geda-bundle packages, which resulted in the issue as described in earlier emails. I then removed all geda packages, removed guile16, and removed the Todai Fink Team's tree from my apt sources. Next, I ran a fink selfupdate, and then, a fink install geda-bundle, and it pulled in guile16, the geda packages, and a bit of etc (I'm afraid I did not note what else it pulled in), and then proceeded to compile them from source. At the completion of the compile, I ran gschem again and it has been trucking along just fine. Also, the source compile still depended on guile16. I just let it pull it in and compile it. Perhaps guile16 is broken on my machine via binary? Other notes, my old powerbook, which was working with binary packages of a much older version, is a PPC, and this new machine is Intel. Don't know if is any kind of issue. Let me know if you have further questions, I am more than happy to give you whatever info that would help. Thank you for your work on all this, regardless, it has saved me a lot of work in the past. -Steve On Sep 28, 2007, at 8:38 AM, Charles Lepple wrote: > On Sep 27, 2007, at 6:13 PM, Steven Ball wrote: > >> >> Built from source, no issues now. >> >> I guess there is an issue with the binary package, then. > > Can you elaborate a little on what changed when you built from source? > > Which versions of guile were installed? > > Since the binary packages work on my machine, I would like to > figure out what has changed. > >> Thanks all for your help! >> >> -Steve >> >> On Sep 27, 2007, at 1:47 PM, John Doty wrote: >> >>> Build from source is what worked for me. >>> >>> On Sep 27, 2007, at 1:45 PM, Steven Ball wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> On Sep 27, 2007, at 1:26 PM, John Doty wrote: >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Have you tried installing guile18, and then reinstalling geda- >>>>> bundle? >>>>> I really suspect the Guile compatibility issues are biting you >>>>> here. >>>>> There are some hoops the installer needs to jump through >>>>> depending on >>>>> which version of Guile you have, and Fink handles this differently >>>>> from other free software distros.
