We are pleased to annouce the availability of Guile 1.5.6 for testing.
The 1.5.X series is a BETA series, intended only for testing, so
please don't put it into a distribution or anything similar. Once
we've hammered out any serious bugs, we'll make the stable release of
1.6.1.
You can find the file here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-1.5.6.tar.gz
If you're interested in testing, please try as much of the following
as is convenient:
* Unset GUILE_LOAD_PATH.
* Remove automake and autoconf from your path, or turn off their
execute bits, or something. (Users must be able to build from the
tarfile without installing those tools.)
* Configure, "make", "make check", and "make install". Make sure to
remove your previous install tree before the "make install".
* Make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't include anything unnecessary.
* Run the test suite on the installed version.
./check-guile -i [INSTALL_PATH]/bin/guile
* Look at the install tree (with "find | sort" or similar) and make
sure nothing seems obviously amiss.
* Check that the dependencies in guile-readline/Makefile look OK.
(We currently use a kludge which edits the dependencies generated
by automake so that Guile can be built in a directory separate
from the source tree also with non-GNU make programs.)
* Make sure readline works.
* You might try the example code in the doc directory.
Thanks
