#198 Guile 3.0.1 released

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

configure: checking for guile 2.0
configure: checking for guile 1.8
configure: error:
No Guile development packages were found.

Please verify that you have Guile installed.  If you installed Guile
from a binary distribution, please verify that you have also installed
the development packages.  If you installed it yourself, you might need
to adjust your PKG_CONFIG_PATH; see the pkg-config man page for more.

Also see Guile releases.

But that does not explain why Guile 2.2.7 built from sources cannot be found. I think AutoGen needs to check for Guile 2.2:

Based on the comments in guile.m4, it looks like the macro needs to be updated to accept both Guile 3.0 and Guile 2.2:

# By default, this macro will search for the latest stable version of
# Guile (e.g. 2.0), falling back to the previous stable version
# (e.g. 1.8) if it is available.  If no guile-@var{VERSION}.pc file is
# found, an error is signalled.  The found version is stored in
# @var{GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION}.

there is a patch already out for this, see my reply in #196 as it has the patch attached

Duplicates earlier report and will be fixed in the next release.
