Re: Failing to compile 2.6.8: Guile reports error

[Mats Bengtsson]

I just tried to compile Lilypond 2.8.6 on a Debian stable
machine (just using a newer fontforge and mftrace) and
it seems that the guile 1.6.7 package from stable works
without problem. However, it seems that I need to upgrade
Python (LilyPond 2.8.3 compiled and installed fine with the
default Python version).

However, if you want to make any changes to the code,
then you should go for the latest development version,
which requires newer versions also of gcc, for example.
