Due to a bug in glibc http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=442568 guile-1.8 FTBFS on alpha. This has recently been fixed in glibc 2.7-1. So, can you please reschedule a build for guile-1.8 on alpha? thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/
