gEDA-user: 2 make errors installing gwave

[Robert Butts]

There is an executable in /usr/local/bin named guile.  There is a
usr/local/share/guile/1.6 directory.  There are two directories named 1.6and
1.8 in usr/share/guile.  So I guess I'm not sure where it was installed and
I'd rather not guess.  Other than searching for guile files how can I tell
where they are installed?

If they are installed in the same place but with different names,
/usr/local/bin/guile and /usr/local/bin/guile16 for example, then you
need to edit that build.. script and change the call at the top from
guile to guile16.

If you couldn't tell already, I am new to Linux so this is somewhat vague to
me.  In this example what type of file would guile and guile16 be scheme,
executable...?  When you say build.. script, do you mean the gwave configure
script?  Could you give me just a little more detail?  Thanks!
