Re: Failing to compile 2.6.8: Guile reports error

[Mats Bengtsson]

Why don't you use the Linux package available for download at 
www.lilypond.org? It should work without any problems on a Debian 
machine, for example.

As far as I can see from the Debian package database, the file
usr/share/guile/1.6/srfi/srfi-39.scm should be included in the 
libs/guile-1.6-libs package.
