[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thank you again, David. I followed your installation instructions, and with
a few warnings, your hello-world example (eventually) ran. I can submit
what I saw to the bug-g-golf <at> gnu.org address.

I also got clipboard.scm to run, with one error.

I think for Jessica's and Ricardo's sakes, and because it's the right thing
to do, we can close bug #57379 and carry on elsewhere.
