<nalaginrut>morning guilers~
<joolean>evening, nalaginrut
<nalaginrut>heya
<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

<dsmith-work>Happy Friday, Guilers!!
*sneek wags
<lucasaiu>To you as well.
<bhattigurjot>my software's aclocal.m4 is not including the guile.m4 file
<bhattigurjot>what shall I do?
<dsmith-work>bhattigurjot: I remember having issues there too, but it was a while ago, and I don't remember the details.
<bhattigurjot>dsmith-work: any advice?
<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: None, sorry.
<bhattigurjot>it's ok
<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
<taylanub>bhattigurjot: ^
<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>
<daviid>bhattigurjot: I beleive if you set this variable, your S/W will become guile.m4 aware ...
<bhattigurjot>ok
<bhattigurjot>daviid: that didn't work :-/
<bhattigurjot>Also if I run: sudo ldconfig
<bhattigurjot>I am getting this:
<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>YEah, thats a FAQ
<dsmith-work>It's ok. Just noise from ldconfig. It thinks only .so's should be in that dir.
<bhattigurjot>dsmith-work: ok
<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?
<bhattigurjot>after "make install" ?
<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>the output is
<bhattigurjot>(define %pkg-config-program "/usr/bin/pkg-config")
<bhattigurjot> (let* ((real-args (cons %pkg-config-program args))
<bhattigurjot> (cons %pkg-config-program args) (status:exit-val ret)))
<daviid>ok, that's good
<daviid>then I don't know
<bhattigurjot>ok :(
<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.
<sneek>Got 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.
<sneek>Got it.
<dsmith-work>sneek: botsnack
<sneek>:)
*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!
<dsmith-work>cky: the bothas been offline for a while...
