Ah!  That works, thanks.

I'm a bit confused, though.  In debian, I do "apt-get install 
guile-1.6-dev" (or something like that), and then I can compile stuff 
that needs guile-config.  In fink, I need to export a GUILE_CONFIG 
variable?  Is that something inherent in Apple's BSD layer, or just a 
quirk of fink's guile package?

Once I had all the dependancies (including a few that ./configure and 
make didn't check for, such as t1utils) it seems to work fine.  I could 
"mftrace cmr10" without any error messages.

After satisfying all the ./configure issues, I began "make all".  
Shortly after that, I got this:

g++ -shared -o out/midi.so out/midi.lo      -L/sw/lib  -L/sw/lib 
-lguile -lguile-ltdl -lm

Why on earth would Apple's version of g++ not support the "-shared" 
option?  (not that I have any idea what it does, but still...)
