Hi Scott (et. al.)

	My experience (while writing gwave and other little things) is
that for guile-1.3.4 you need guile-gtk 0.16, 0.17 or 0.18.  I just
confirmed that this works with RedHat 7.1 and its stock guile-1.3.4.
Blame RedHat for shipping an an old guile, I guess :-(.


For guile-1.4, guile-gtk 0.19 is the thing.  I've never had success mixing
new guile-gtk with old guile, or vice versa.  Your success (after much
effort) suggests that this is really just a configure problem, which does
ring a vague bell.  

Still, I stand by the recommendation in gwave/INSTALL of not mixing
versions.

Incidently, I've had no problem having multiple guiles installed; the
various libguile.so.* versions are numbered appropriately so as not 
to collide.  When using RPM, I just do "rpm -ivh --force guile-1.4.rpm".

The same is NOT true of guile-gtk; they're all libguile*.so.0.0.0.
Last time I exchanged email with the guile-gtk developers, they didn't
think this was a problem - but I still disagree.

P.S. Yes, 20001123 was the most recent release of gwave; _somthing_ is
long overdue, even if it is just a few accumulated bugfixes.  Soon, I
hope.
