Re: [guile-reader-devel] can't configure 0.6.2 due to no scm_take_u8vector?

Hi,

‘scm_take_u8vector’ is indeed missing from libguile-2.0:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
configure:13989: checking for scm_take_u8vector
configure:13989: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -pthread -I/usr/include/guile/2.0   
-lguile-2.0 -lgc conftest.c  >&5
/tmp/ccpbOv2S.o: In function `main':
/home/kevin/0work/guile-reader-0.6.2/conftest.c:65: undefined reference to 
`scm_take_u8vector'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:13989: $? = 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What does this return:

  objdump -T /usr/lib/libguile-2.0.so | grep scm_take_u8vector

?

How did you install Guile?  Does it come from your distro?  Which distro
is it?

AFAICS it’s normally impossible to compile out this functionality from
Guile, so this is surprising.

Thanks in advance,
