Re: GNU Guile 1.9.5 released (alpha)

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guilers!

Of course, it was not until this morning that I discovered this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> %load-compiled-path 
$1 = ("/home/ludo/soft/lib/GNU Guile/1.9/ccache")
scheme@(guile-user)> %load-path 
$2 = ("/home/ludo/.nix-profile/share/guile/site" "/home/ludo/soft/share/GNU 
Guile/site" "/home/ludo/soft/share/GNU Guile/1.9" "/home/ludo/soft/share/GNU 
Guile")

$ ls ~/soft/share/GNU\ Guile/1.9/
guile-procedures.txt  ice-9/  lang/  language/  oop/  rnrs/  scripts/  srfi/  
system/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The directory names contain “GNU Guile” instead of “guile”.  On
GNU/Linux at least, the build system and Guile don’t have any problems
dealing with whitespaces in directory names, so it actually works, but
it surely wasn’t intended.

I fixed it in ‘master’ and started looking for someone else to blame:

  
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/commit/?id=53da7372beca90a58b7401a84627815289a53d11
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.bugs/4803

Apologies for the inconvenience, and happy GNU\ Guile hacking
nevertheless!

Ludo’.
