Hello Ed,

I've been trying to compile the latest git version of gEDA/GAF to test
the above, but that fails. Somehow, ./configure can't find guile 2.0
even though it is installed:

        configure: error: you need at least version 2.0.0 of guile

        > which guile
        /usr/bin/guile

        > ls -l /usr/bin/guile
        lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 aug 21 10:39 /usr/bin/guile -> /etc/alternatives/guile

        > ls -l /etc/alternatives/guile
        lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 aug 21 10:39 /etc/alternatives/guile -> /usr/bin/guile-2.0

As I'm not really a compiler guru, I think I'll just wait until the
latest changes pop up in the normal updates. If there's anything new
that I can report, I will do so.
For the time being, I can use gschem, just as long as I'm careful not to
resize the main window too often.

Best regards,

Richard Rasker
