Re: gEDA-user: Next step questions

OK, so I'm trying to install via CVS geda/gaf.  I'm getting this error with make install:

checking for guile-config... no
configure: error: guile-config required but not found
make: *** [libgeda/config.h] Error 1

# guile --version
Guile 1.6.7

I read on a previous post by Stuart Sept 2005:


Anyway, as for your guile problems, it looks like the program
guile-config has been removed with the 1.6.7 release.  My guess is

that guile-config has been replaced by pkg-config, which is where most
*-config programs on Linux are moving.  Unfortunately, my installer
needs guile-config in order to know how to use guile.  Guile-config
was present as of 
1.6.3.  

My suggestion:  

1.  First verify that you have no guile-config on your system ("locate
    guile-config").  
2.  Verify that your pkg-config works for guile.  Try "pkg-config

    --modversion guile"
3.  In /usr/bin create a shell script called guile-config.  In the
    shell script, have a single line "pkg-config guile ${0}".  The
    idea is to fool the installer into calling pkg-config when it

    tries to use guile-config.
4.  Test out your new guile-config shell script before running the
    installer.

...

However, if I try pkg-config --modversion guile I get:

Package guile was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `guile.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'guile' found

but if I find / -name 'guile.pc' -print

No guile.pc is found.

Can anyone help?

Many TIA,
Craig

I'm so sorry, you sure did, and they look *great*.  I can hardly wait to give them a spin!  Again, many thanks for the help, and many thanks for making beautiful PCB design and fabrication a reality for someone with just a linux box sitting in a small apartment without even a garage!!
Thanks,
Craig

I just posted instructions about an hour ago...
