Unless the patch you mention is to make guile-gtk build against Guile 1.7.*, I believe you need Guile 1.5.*, which is labeled "branch_release-1-6" in CVS: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/guile \ co -r branch_release-1-6 guile/guile-core 2. You will need a Gnome build environment -- not just a GTK one -- to run "autogen.sh" for guile-gtk. (I had to install at least a couple dozen new Gnome-related libraries on my Debian Sid box in the course various build attempts, so I am not certain what the minimum subset of Gnome libraries you will need is. If you're on Debian Sid already, the "gnome-common" package alone may be sufficient.) 3. Though documentation in the latest guile-gtk release states that that it supports GTK 2 (1.3) in addition to 1.2, and you will see various support code for 2/1.3, Ariel has since clarified that only 1.2 is supported now. 4. Under GTK 1.2 and the Guile 1.5.* CVS versions I tried, some of the widget demos/tests result in runtime errors. (These may be guile-gtk regressions due to Guile changes, so not necessarily guile-gtk's fault.) Just, if/when you get runtime errors on the examples, don't worry that it's your fault. If you have time to debug the causes, I'm sure Ariel would appreciate patches. -- Neil W. Van Dyke http://www.neilvandyke.org/
