Re: Newbie trying to use/install on Fedora 5

[Olwe Bottorff]

Okay, found /usr/share/libtools and found libltdl
source. Compiled and installed. (Odd, why wasn't it
already installed, Fedora?) Now guile 1.8 ./configure
was happy and so was the glorious make. But I hesitate
before make install. I tried a rpm -e of the default
Fed5 guile1.6.7, but it complained of dependencies to
a whole raft of Gnomeware. Q: If I do make install on
my 1.8, do I hose myself? Is there a way to install
1.8 into a sandbox of sorts?
