By the way, that failure is only in the config stuff. I didn't carefully scrutinize that part of the patch the Ubuntu folks gave me. Looks like guile 1.6 doesn't support scm_c_make_string and 1.9 has no alternative. Thus, the config test code needs some if-def-ing. Perhaps the Guile folks can point me to some config test code that will identify a working Guile of the 1.4.x through 1.9.x persuasion. It is getting very difficult. > #include <libguile.h> > #if ((SCM_MAJOR_VERSION * 100) + SCM_MINOR_VERSION) > 109 > This has not been tested with Guile 1.10.

I think this was because the deprecated interfaces were #define-d to non-deprecated interfaces and the libguile couldn't tell that I was using old stuff. May I suggest *NOT* eliminating such interfaces until they've been #define-d to something that *DOES* warn? e.g. #define SCM_NFALSEP(_a) scm_is_true_deprecated(_a)
