I suspect as much..

Yes.

For what? That's the version that comes with RH7.0

Myself. I do have permission to the directory.

Yes.

Considering the number of geda users, there's bound to be one
running RH7. In the past I've installed on rh 6.x and 5.x.

BTW, I found an RPM for guile (off of rpmfind). But the geda config
script doesn't like it.

checking for Guile... yes
checking for scm_make_smob_type in -lguile... no

Which sounds like an old version of guile is lying around and getting
slurped in by config.
