  what philip said.  as near as i can tell, guile-1.8.7 *must* have
once built on f12 since, after all, a binary rpm for it exists for f12
and it's on my system right now.

  but now, you can't build it which suggests that some other package
update must have broken the build.  that is, it built for the official
general release of f12, but no longer builds on an updated system.

  i've got top men working on it.  *top* men.

rday

p.s.  actually, philip, that suggests that a fresh install of f12
*should* work.  once you update, though, all bets are off.  but just
wait until we have a resolution.
