Re: [bug-libmatheval] Build error (redux)

[Shaun Mucalo]

Hello,
Thank you for the assistance, I managed to compile and install libmatheval by 
also installing guile1.8. 

I'm not sure why this worked. With guile1.8 installed ./configure output 
changed to: 

...
checking for scm_t_bits... yes
checking for scm_c_define_gsubr in -lguile... yes
checking for scm_make_gsubr in -lguile... yes
checking for scm_num2dbl in -lguile... yes
...

Which were all previously 'no' with 2.0 only.

Thank you,
Shaun Mucalo

Hi !

Hum, it happens while building test suite, it is strange that nobody reported 
that before. Not so surprising though, I personally never build test suite, i 
prefer make some test by myself to check if the code meets my needs.

I hope the usual way (ie.

./configure
make
sudo make install

) works. If it does, the problem is likely coming from the test suite (unless 
i'm mistaken) maybe working on tests/matheval.c (which seems to be outdated) 
could solve the problem, or the autotest suite is broken, in that case, i'm not 
skilled enough in autotools to solve the problem, you should wait for 
maintainer or aleksandar answers.

regards,
