You cannot replace the guile 2.0 package with 2.2 as it will break several utilities most notably make. The guile-3.0.x package will not work, it is not backwards compatible with the 2.2 series. I know because I tried it. 2. I solved this by installing guile 2.2 alongside 2.0 and that seems to be working fine. 3. It is not just guile; glib2, gtk+, gdk-pixbuf, cairo, and pango also all have to be upgraded. Some of which, pango in particular, has several other dependencies. 4. I almost turned my machine into a brick last night trying to just use the new slackware packages, so don't unless you are good at admin work. 5. So far I have identified glib2 and probably pango as requiring a rebuild to upgrade. Should know more tonight. Glenn
