After that, lilypond-2.19.83 ./configure was happy about the guile version, and completed configure. But then lilypond errors out on: GNUmakefile:295: recipe for target 'out/internals.texi' failed"

Take the tip of the branch_release-1-8 branch in the Guile repository. Thien-Thi Nguyen has kept that compilable even though no official release is. I have not recompiled last month, but I would guess that it's workable. If that alone does not work, you may need to call configure with --disable-error-on-warning to get it through. -- David Kastrup

What I was unsure from the your post, Bric, is what "... the build fails for all three" means. Either a) You could not build guile, neither 1.8.0, 1.8.4, nor 1.8.5 b) You did successfully build three different versions of guile, but haven't had success with none of them in compiling lilypond. In any case it would be good to know a) Which version of LP are you trying to compile? From current master? b) If building guile is the problem, how does the build actually fail? Michael

compiling 2.19.83 needs guile-config < 1.9.0
I think this was discussed before, but i'm not sure how to downgrade guile on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS I tried building guile-1.8.0, guile-1.8.4, guile-1.8.5, but the build fails for all three. lilypond ./configure error: ERROR: Please install required programs: guile-config < 1.9.0 (installed: 2.2.3) (guile-devel, guile-dev or libguile-dev package) libguile (libguile-dev, guile-devel or guile-dev package).
