Seems you have an older version of guile installed which does not define
gh_append2(). Here's some ugly hack:

 extern void glibtop_boot_guile __P((void));
=============================================================================

Which version of guile do you have? I tested it with 1.3a (from May 4 it
think) but it should also work with 1.2.

The above patch is only an ugly hack and will case an error with recent
versions of guile.

If you _have_ guile 1.2 or newer, please tell me and I'll make a real
fix for this problem to the current CVS version.
