Guile is indeed used for testing here only (I guess I should really get
rid of it, 99% of installation problems that I hear about from users are
Guile related) but because of how auto-tools suite works, it's rather
involved to have it disabled.  So I created a tarball for you as a quick
fix instead, I sent it to your personal address directly - I deleted
Guile checks, and tests subdirectory completely, so you should be able
to "./configure && make && make install" it now.  Please let me know if
this doesn't work for you, or if you need any other kind of help with
libmatheval.

Best,
