Most likely you have to compile guile 1.8 by yourself since it is no longer available universally as a distribution package. Starting with guile's git repository as a source is probably best: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/log/?h=branch_release-1-8 * Clone this repository and check out the `branch_release-1-8` branch. * Run the `./autogen.sh` script. * Run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt --disable-error-on-warning make make install (adjusting `--prefix` to your taste). * Call LilyPond's `configure` script like the following. PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/lib64/pkgconfig \ ./configure ... Werner
