Hi,

I have a project I used to build with guile 2.2. I use the PKG_GUILE m4 macro in my configure.ac. However, guile 3 comes with a guile.m4 whose PKG_GUILE only checks for 2.2, 2.0 and 1.8, so configure fails.

Is this deprecated? Should I use something else to check for guile?

Thanks!

I use “GUILE_PKG([3.0 2.2])” in my code.

OMG I thought I had fixed this; just now pushed a patch.  In the
meantime you can use GUILE_PKG([3.0 2.2]) to look for 3.0 or 2.2 (in
that order).

Thanks for the report!

Andy
