RE: guile 1.8.7 static const char foo[] is incomplete type, rejected by some compilers

-prefix=$HOME
Indeed, duh to me, there is no bdwcgc.pc.
I'm not entirely sure I even built the right package..or built it property.

There is http://hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc-7.1.tar.gz
First I had gc-latest.tar.gz which is 6.8.
In neither case do I get package config file though.


I'll have to root around later..

Thanks,
  - Jay
