make fails for guile-1.4.tar.gz in directory /usr/local/guile-1.4/
My system is  Red Hat 7.1 kernel 2.4.2-2 gcc 2.96
I compiled in an xterm under KDE 2.1.1
I have an AMD K6-2 500 MHz 3DNow, with
 384 Megs PCI-100 Ram and  40 Gig HD
I am VERY disappointed that Guile failed to install because
I really WANTED GLame. GLame demands at least
guile 1.3.4
 Is there anything I can do to get Guile to install?
