Re: gEDA-user: Problem compiling gnetman . . . .

[Bill Cox <bill@viasic.com>]

Hi, Stuart.

The problem is the old version of guile.  If you get the latest stuff, I 
think it will compile correctly.  The gEDA tools seem to use an old 
version, but I'm not sure why.

Frankly, I'm not impressed with guile so far.  I'm tempted to remove it 
and to go with TCL,  I have had good luck with TCL in the past, and it 
doesn't do anoying stuff like mess with your main.  The whole point of a 
language like guile is tool control.  If it's going to create porting 
and compilation problems, it's not doing a good job.

Anyway... Just some random rantings...
