guile-gtk-0.19 build error

guile-gtk-0.19 build error

[Rick Taube]

Hello,  I want to evaluate guile-gtk-0.19 as a possible vehicle for porting a music composition system COmmon Music to Linux/Guile. I would like to use guile-gtk to implement the GUI that I have develped for my system in Common Lisp on the Mac.  (If you want to see the interface there are some example gifs at http://www-camil.music.uiuc.edu/software/cm/installed/cm-2.1/doc/plotter.html
)

When I try to build guile-gtk-0.19 (Red Hat 7, Guile 1.4) I get an error in the build that I havent been able to figure out. Its dying on an unresolved symbol 'scm_master_freelist':

[hkt@camil23 guile-gtk-0.19]$ make
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2  -o guile-gtk-1.2 -export-dynamic main.o libguilegtk-1.2.la -L/usr/local/lib -lguile -lm -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lm

Thanks for any suggestions on how to resolve this problem

The problem is probably with the link command that libtool produces:

Note the subseq "-L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lguile".  This makes the
linker find an old -lguile in /usr/lib, probably, while your real
-lguile is in /usr/local/lib.  Right?

A fix would be to run "make LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib".  This should
prepend -L/usr/local/lib to the front of linker command, and -lguile
will be found in /usr/local/lib.
