<bhattigurjot>hi, I've just compiled guile-2.0.11 from the source. but my own software is not able to set GUILE_PROGS and GUILE_FLAGS when I configure it. <bhattigurjot>I've already tried setting "aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal/ " where guile.m4 file is ***sneek_ is now known as sneek
***brendyyn is now known as brendyn
***mario-go` is now known as mario-goulart
<bhattigurjot>my software's aclocal.m4 is not including the guile.m4 file <dsmith-work>bhattigurjot: I remember having issues there too, but it was a while ago, and I don't remember the details. <dsmith-work>bhattigurjot: I think it was that on my Debian system, it was not looking for guile's aclocal.m4 in the place Guile installed it (when installing from source). <dsmith-work>bhattigurjot: What kind of system are you on? Is guile installed from source? What version? <bhattigurjot>I'm on Linux Mint 15. Yes guile is from source. Version: 2.0.11 <taylanub>there's an ACLOCAL_PATH environment variable, perhaps you need to add something to it <bhattigurjot>taylanub: I don't understand! if I am already specifying the directory to aclocal to check where an additional .m4 files are, why is it not picking them up? <bhattigurjot>also the directory that I am specifying is the default directory, no? <taylanub>oh, I missed your line mentioning you using -I/usr/local/share/aclocal <daviid>jumping in, not sure I have all the detail, but I wrote this to myself: <daviid>If you build guile-gnome against a manually built guile, check that your <daviid>ACLOCAL_FLAGS variable is correctly set: <daviid>bhattigurjot: I beleive if you set this variable, your S/W will become guile.m4 aware ... <bhattigurjot>/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/local/lib/libguile-2.0.so.22.7.2-gdb.scm is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. <dsmith-work>It's ok. Just noise from ldconfig. It thinks only .so's should be in that dir. <dsmith-work>But newish gdb's put scripts or something to extend gdb in there too. <bhattigurjot>daviid: it is still not getting the GUILE_PROGS and GUILE_FLAGS <bhattigurjot>is there any step or command that I should use after compiling & installing guile from source? <daviid>bhattigurjot: what is the value of <daviid>grep %pkg-config-program /opt/bin/guile-config [just change /opt/bin/ to 'your' path ] <bhattigurjot>like grep %pkg-config-program /usr/local/bin/guile-config <bhattigurjot> (cons %pkg-config-program args) (status:exit-val ret))) <bhattigurjot>if anyone has any idea about my problem feel free to post it here, I'll read it on the logs. Thanks in advance! <dsmith-work>bhattigurjot: I think in the past I have manually copied the .m4 to the place where my Debian system expects it. <dsmith-work>bhattigurjot: And the only thing you normally need to do after installing from source is running ldconfig to update the caches. <dsmith-work>sneek: later tell bhattigurjot I think in the past I have manually copied the .m4 to the place where my Debian system expects it. <dsmith-work>sneek: later tell bhattigurjot And the only thing you normally need to do after installing from source is running ldconfig to update the caches. *dsmith-work pets the sneek <dsmith-work>civodul: Did I tell you that somehow the eth0 device was totally commented out in /etc/network/interfaces ? <dsmith-work>I must have done that, but don't remember doing it at all. <cky>So, because I live under a cave and only came across this message today.... <cky>Oh, I was going to congratulate mark_weaver on his new maintainership, but I see he's not currently online. <cky>sneek: seen mark_weaver <sneek>I last saw mark_weaver on Apr 28 at 04:19 am UTC, saying: yes. <cky>Wow, that was a month ago! <sneek> 20:58:10 up 18:27, 0 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 <civodul>dsmith-work: ooh, that explains a lot, then :-)
