Subject: bug#9851: No configure file in git cloned guile despite what README says
Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2011 20:35:51 -0700 (PDT)

Dear Guile Maintainers:

I used the git command
  git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/guile.git
from the guile webpage
   https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/download.html
and got a nice directory with a README file which
tells me to run ./configure which does not exist.
I tried to create one with autoconf but it gave lots
of error messages.

Please revise the README file (or provide a traditional
INSTALL file) with correct installation information.

Thanks,

_Greg
