Yep, got that.

Configure.

Problem is that it can't link to libguile.  guile-config link returns:

configure: guile-config used for LIBS:   -lguile -lltdl
-L/usr/local/lib -lgmp -lcrypt -lm -lltdl

but no shared library is created for guile.  Also, seems to be in the
wrong order (-L/usr/local/lib should be before -lguile), but it
doesn't really matter since the shared lib isn't being built.
configure says it will build a shared library though.

'make' runs successfully.... I don't see a 'make test' target.

static only.

Considering there really isn't a shared lib, yep.

Yep.

Odd.
