Re: [Bug-guile-ncurses] guile-config not found

[Mortimer Cladwell]

I needed to install guile-2.0-dev and libunistring-dev for the guile-ncurses installation to complete.  (libunistring was already installed).

Thanks Mike.

guile-config is deprecated, but, I see that it still appears in the git
repository for the 2.0.x series of Guile.

Perhaps you need to install the guile-2.0-dev package?
