Hello,

Indeed.  Commit c5a2e1ffcb029f50c4c18352cf378b61c41c625e made
guile-sqlite3 a requirement, but ‘configure’ is supposed to error out if
it’s not found.

Mark, any idea why ‘configure’ didn’t fail for you?  What does
‘config.log’ say?

I’m a bit reluctant to that, in part because it’s a development
environment where we can have different expectations IMO.
