Good.  (It’s also a good idea to run ‘make check’.)

Right; it should really allow you to build it without Guile-Lib, that’s
a bug in the build system.  This was actually fixed after 0.9.2, in
commit 0d38cbb.

But I really recommend Guile 2.0 (Guile 1.8 has been unmaintained for a
few years now.)  If the distro doesn’t provide an up-to-date guile-lib
package, then I guess you’ll have to build it from source.

Yes, that’s due to the downgrade to Guile 1.8.

So from now the correct thing to do is to:

  1. re-install Guile 2.0;
  2. re-install Guile-Read for Guile 2.0 (make sure to run ‘make
     distclean’ and re-run ./configure);
  3. install Guile-Lib for Guile 2.0;
  4. install Skribilo.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
