guile-gi

[Tim Meehan]

Apologies if this isn't an appropriate place to post this, but I had some
trouble building "guile-gi" ...

I downloaded it from github today:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/spk121/guile-gi.git

How I started the process:
cd guile-gi
./bootstrap
./configure
... lots of configure-y stuff ...
./configure: line 5297: syntax error near unexpected token `1.46.0'
./configure: line 5297: `GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK(1.46.0)'

I have the required packages installed:
me@thing ~% apt list --installed | grep libgirepository
libgirepository1.0-dev/groovy,now 1.66.1-1 amd64 [installed]
me@thing ~% apt list --installed | grep guile-3.0-dev
guile-3.0-dev/groovy,now 3.0.4-1.2ubuntu3 amd64 [installed]
me@thing guile-gi % apt list --installed | grep build-essential
build-essential/groovy,now 12.8ubuntu3 amd64 [installed]

# My system:
me@thing ~% uname -a
Linux thing 5.8.0-50-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 12 17:18:36 UTC 2021
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
me@thing ~% cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 20.10
(Technically, Lubuntu)

Any suggestions?
