Hi Ludo’,

Sorry that perhaps did something boneheaded which made caused your reply
to end up in a "spam folder" for me, and I only just noticed it
yesterday!

Right. I did fix one instance of this issue, but there was another that
I got somewhat nervous about trying to fix (I was worried I'd break
something inadvertently...) But my memory is a bit imprecise now.
Anyhow, it sounds like you may have fixed it here:

I'm at a workshop now and may not find enough time to investigate too
carefully until next week, so for now I'm mainly responding to say
"thanks, I got your message!"
I did manage to build and install the skribilo-from-git that you
mentioned via updated master.
(I'm not at all git-competent, so I cloned a new image. There was no
configure script, and I then had to guess at how to accomplish the
autoconf/automake magic. I think in the end I did "./autoreconf
--install" and afterwards things worked(?) Though I may have copied
some of the infrastructure from my older skribilo image... At any rate,
in the end it built and installed.)
And e.g. it built and installed a new ".info" version of the manual, so
at least some of the errors are now gone.
But earlier, in addition to the problems while building, I was getting
the "mutability errors" while running various guile scripts that I've
written which use skribilo. And so far I haven't confirmed whether all those
issues are resolved.
I'll let you know, though!
Thanks again for the email.
Best,
george
