Hi all,

a few weeks ago I had a little problem with 'scm_regular_string'
in gnome-guile:

Today, I got the same problem again as I tried to rebuild gnome
from scratch. The old solution - to checkout gnome-guile again -
didn't work, so I hacked around a little bit and found the real
reason for this error (and how to fix it): it occurs whenever
configure cannot guile !

The simples sollution is to do

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/baulig/GNOME
               --with-guile-libs=/home/baulig/GNOME/lib
               --with-guile-incs=/home/baulig/GNOME/include

(replace the '/home/baulig/GNOME' with were guile is installed)

I also made some changes to the configure scripts in order to
find guile. I'll send the patches and a short description of
them in a separate mail to the list this afternoon.

Martin
