[guile-reader-devel] Fw: build problem for guile-reader-0.6.2

I was able to workaround my issue by replacing each call to ac_fn_c_check_func with a function of my own that just does a string search on the guile header files. I pasted the definition shown below into configure script and changed each call to ac_fn_c_check_func instead to use this function. I was then able to build and install guile-reader.

GUILEinc=`pkg-config --variable=includedir guile-2.0`/guile/2.0

# 3 arguments - linenum function variable
check_prototype ()
{
echo "checking for $2"
result=`find $GUILEinc -name "*.h" -exec grep $2 {} \; `
if test "x$result" != x; then :
    eval "$3=yes"
else
    eval "$3=no"
fi

eval ac_res=\$$3
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: $ac_res" >&5
    $as_echo "$ac_res" >&6; }
eval $as_lineno_stack; ${as_lineno_stack:+:} unset as_lineno
}

Subject: build problem for guile-reader-0.6.2

Greetings!

I have guile-2.0 installed from a package, including guile-2.0-dev. I'm having an issue running the configure script. It complains I don't have guile >= 1.8 but I have 2.0 installed. Any ideas what should be done?

Thx,

Wayne
