What I mean is that since Debian build of gnutls does not include the guile bindings, we have to build gnutls from the source tarball ourselves. The flag "--with-guile-site-dir=/usr/local/share/guile/site/2.2" instructs the build script to install the guile bindings into "/usr/local/share/guile/site/2.2". > Mark
