Another user had the same problem:

It apparently has to do with guile. Do you have both guile-1.4 and
guile-1.6 installed? Your configure script thinks you have 1.6, but
sometimes libtool (used by gcc) has a different idea. Therefore, if
you have any traces of guile-1.4 lurking anywhere (e.g. from an old
install), you should hunt them down and kill them.

Yes I think this may be part of the problem. I did see guile-1.4 floating around. I indeed searched with find for all guile and removed them I thought, but I will re-check. Any hints on where to hunt for these? There were some living in my old geda install directory, I think.

Another possibility: This reminds me of some problems I had with noweb
previously.

I think this may be part of the problem as well, as I have seen complaints about some of the install scripts not finding noweb, I am not even sure if it is installed. What package is it part of?

Take a look at g_read_file.c in libgeda/src.  Look to see
if it has translated libgeda/noweb/g_read_file.nw correctly.  If not,
you may be experiencing a problem with your built-in noweb.



As for this last suggestion I think its above my skill level, but I will try. I am not sure how I will tell if it has been translated correctly.

Thanks very much for your help, and I will let you know as to my progress, I may just focus on manually building libgeda and go from there once I get through that. At least you did not say anything about gtk so this is good so far.
