Re: Problems compiling guile on OS X, while generating guile-procedures.texi

[Ian Holmes]

Just as an additional piece of info, guile itself builds but fails
with the following error

% libguile/guile
Throw without catch before boot:
Throw to key misc-error with args ("primitive-load-path" "Unable to
find file ~S in load path" ("ice-9/boot-9") #f)Aborting.
Abort


For what it's worth, I actually seem to get a different build error
every time I re-run 'make', e.g. first time:

guile: uncaught throw to unbound-variable: (#f Unbound variable: ~S
(#{chi-local-syntax 429}#) #f)

Second time:

guile: uncaught throw to syntax-error: (memoization ~A ~S. (expected a
proper list (kill . #<undefined>)) #f)

Third time:

guile: uncaught throw to syntax-error: (memoization ~A ~S. (expected a
proper list ((top) . #<srcprops ((line . 6550) (column . 18) (filename
. "/usr/local/guile-2.0.2/module/ice-9/psyntax-pp.scm"))>)) #f)

Fourth time:

guile: uncaught throw to syntax-error: (memoization ~A ~S. (expected a
proper list ((vector-ref #{p 4145}# 2) . #<srcprops ((line . 14043)
(column . 33) (filename .
"/usr/local/guile-2.0.2/module/ice-9/psyntax-pp.scm"))>)) #f)

etc.


I haven't yet been able to build gc 7.2, but (as I mentioned) am
already using 7.1.

I have built guile successfully on an iMac which I upgraded to OSX
Lion... it's only on this MacBook Air laptop (with Lion preinstalled)
that it fails...

*sigh* quite bummed about this, as I can't use scheme on my new laptop
