You could also solve this by copying goose.m4 to
aclocalprefix/share/aclocal or by setting the ACLOCAL_FLAGS environment
variable to '-I gooseprefix/share/aclocal' - otherwise Guppi doesn't know
where to look for Goose, short of "find / -name goose.m4"

Crap, if you don't have Bonobo it is supposed to detect that
automatically. I'll try to improve this.

They are almost all pointless const warnings (where the object is
logically const, but updates some kind of internal data structure).
They should be harmless. The other big slew of warnings is from the Guile
header files (the one about text after #endif and the ones about asm
volatile).

Ouch. Can you get a backtrace? (If you don't know how, let me know.)
This is almost certainly a problem with libraries, but it could be a Guppi
bug.

I'm right now compiling on a fresh machine with that exact combination, so
if it doesn't work I'll let you know what was wrong.

Thanks for the info!
