the latest scoop on guile (native) build failure on fedora

the latest scoop on guile (native) build failure on fedora

[Robert P. J. Day]

  just FYI, as a benchmark for a native build, i downloaded the
guile-1.8.7 tarball and tried to build it on my system with your basic
"make; configure".  that failed exactly as the OE build has been
failing.

  as a last resort, i downloaded the fedora source rpm and tried to
use "rpmbuild" to rebuild the binary package.  same failure.  so this
is clearly a guile/fedora issue, nothing to do with OE.

  i'm about to bugzilla this, but i'm wary only because i'm running on
a sort of f12 system that is f11 but rawhide updated, so it might be
that there's a subtle version mismatch.

  if someone out there has either a pure f11 or pure f12 system, feel
free to download the guile-1.8.7 tarball:

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile/guile-1.8.7.tar.gz

and try nothing more than untar/configure/make and see what happens.

p.s.  install libtool-ltdl-devel first.  philip?  want to give that a
shot?  should take only a couple minutes and will go a long way to
isolating what the mutt is going on here.

Built OK on F11. I'm afraid to upgrade to F12 atm :)

  don't:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2009-November/msg01503.html

but i'm hoping this will be resolved shortly.  as you can see, this
appears to be a fedora issue, nothing to do with OE.

  BZ:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538707

note that someone else has now confirmed the build error on an updated
system.  this issue is now on the radar screen.
