I tried to install guile-1.9.11 on Ubuntu 10.04 and get an error:
==Error Begin== checking for BDW_GC... configure: error: Package requirements (bdw-gc) were not met:
No package 'bdw-gc' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BDW_GC_CFLAGS and BDW_GC_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details. ==Error End==
I tried two approachs, both failed (not generate *.pc file) 1. install package libgc-dev and libgc1c2 from Ubuntu repository. 2. install tarball from BDW hp site.
