I would like to try the graphing command with the SVN version of TeXmacs (revision 12509). I have a question on installation.

As far as I understand, I have to compile it from source; for this I need Guile 1.8.

How do I install Guile 1.8 without affecting the rest of my system (Xubuntu 18.04) where I have a more recent version of Guile which I want to keep as "default"? I have tried to do it with the package manager (I must have downloaded the package some time ago, as I found it on Synaptic!) and I get the following error message:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/guile-1.8-dev_1.8.8+1-8ubuntu3-bionic_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/guile-config', which is also in package guile-2.0-dev 2.0.13+1-5ubuntu0.1

which seems sensible. A brief search on the Internet did not help. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.


Giovanni
