[guile-reader-devel] Installation on Ubuntu 18.04.1 with distro's Guile 2.2.3

[Jeremy Korwin]

Hey readers,

I am trying to install guile-reader on my computer but I am facing a
problem.

I use Ubuntu 18.04.1 and the distro's guile-2.2 installed with the
package manager apt-get (guile --version returns guile 2.2.3) .

I downloaded the guile-reader-0.6.2.tar.gz then when ./configure in the
folder I got (put the complete log, sorry if it is too much):
