build error on my system (Mac OS 10.4.5)

[Jay Cotton]

Hello all,

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for addressing this problem. I'm  
not an experienced guile user. Last week I tried upgrading to 1.8.0,  
but ran into the following error during the make process. So I  
thought I'd send a report.

I'm using an iBook G3/800 running Mac OS 10.4.5 (the latest release).  
I'd be happy to send complete transcripts of the configure and make  
output.

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I.. -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing- 
prototypes -Werror -MT posix.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/posix.Tpo -c  
posix.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/posix.o
In file included from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:78,
                 from /usr/include/netdb.h:86,
                 from posix.c:122:
/usr/include/sys/socket.h:99: error: two or more data types in  
declaration specifiers
make[2]: *** [posix.lo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I appreciate all the work going into guile. I hope someday I'm able  
to contribute.
Jay
