Hi Paul,

meanwhile I do most on my host, not in the VB.

I compiled guile-1.8 and guile-2.0.14 from the released tarball and
2.2.0 from the guile-repository.
Once compiled it's pretty unexpensive to do 'make install' on the
guile-version you wish.

Also, I have three times the lilypond-repository, each compiled with a
different guile-version.

So I can check quickly whatever I need with different versions of
lilypond/guile.


Probably not the way for you, but very convenient in my eyes.



Cheers,
  Harm
