Greetings,

I got the release notice for gEDA 1.10.1 but I am having concerns about 
the guile 2.2.4 dependency. My up-to-date Slackware 14.2 system has 
guile 2.0.11, which runs gEDA 1.10.0 fine. I can update guile to 2.2.7 
myself, but I am concerned that doing so may break other programs on my 
Slackware system. Guile 2.0.11 is a part of the Slackware distro, not an 
add-on by me, so other dependent programs most likely have been compiled 
with it. The "current" Slackware distro has guile 3.x, but it has not 
been officially released yet and as such, for security and stability 
reasons, I don't want to update my Slackware 14.2 until the next release 
is official.

1.10.1 has fixed a few bugs I am interested to use, but if it can't be 
built with guile 2.0.11, then that is not an option for me.

What are my options?

Is there a workaround or patch I could apply to 1.10.1 to make it build 
with guile 2.0.11?

Thanks.

Girvin
