	Yes. guile-1.4 is no longer intentionally supported.   I put
the following in the libgeda/README:


...
        GUILE - guile-1.6.x or later is required (and anything guile
        requires).  Guile 1.4.x is no longer supported.
        Guile can be found at: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile
...
 
	Yeah, new dependancy version requirements will be spelled out
in the currently in-progress release notes.  Perhaps the guile
./configure tests should be improved as well.  Thanks.
