Hi Gopi,
It is best if write replies not to me but to address@hidden That way everyone on the list can see and help. I'm no guru, so it is quite probable that you'll run into something I can't fix, or that I don't know the best way to fix.

Do you know what libc you are using? That might help with the alloca problem. It looks to me like a bug (whether in guile, or in gnu autotools, or in BSD's libc I don't know), and it'd be best if we could figure out how to prevent it from happening again for anyone else.

About the first problem you had, with the guile configure script being unable to find libtool: did you reboot your machine or anything like that in between having the problem and not having the problem? These bugs which spontaneously disappear are the hardest to fix permanently.
Regards,
Jon

Hi Jon
Thanks for the reply.Now i dont have a problem with alloca what i did is i went to /usr/include/libguile/eval.c line number 50 and commented #define alloca _alloca.I didnt get that redefined problem again.But after seeing ur mail i removed the comment and added #undef alloca in line 43.Now make runs without any problem.The crazy thing is even after i remove the comment and removed the undef alloca(which u said,just to check what will happen), i was shocked that i didnt get any error of alloca redfined :).I dont know why this make , ./configure behaves differently sometimes.anyhow iam continuing with ur #undef on line 43 to next error i.e permission denied.let me see that and reply u in another mail.

    Hi Gopi,
    Try adding, in eval.c, a line just before line 44, which is as
    follows:

    #undef alloca

    See if that works. If so, I would file a bug report, with details
    about
    your BSD system, and what you had to do to make it work.

    I'm doubtful that this is a real solution to the underlying
    problem, but
    it should be a quick fix that gets you up and running with guile.
    Regards,
    Jon
