Hi Arne,

to get most recent guile I did:

git fetch
git pull -r

Then, out of 85433fc2b122dc78342c3c83941949d1d9318399 I did

sh autogen.sh
./configure
make

returning:

make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/hermann/guile-3.0'
Making all in lib
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/hermann/guile-3.0/lib'
  GEN      alloca.h
  GEN      arpa/inet.h
  GEN      dirent.h
  GEN      fcntl.h
  GEN      iconv.h
  GPERF    iconv_open-zos.h
/bin/bash: gperf: command not found
make[2]: *** [Makefile:3347: iconv_open-zos.h] Error 127

make[1]: *** [Makefile:2043: all-recursive] Error 1

Obviously I miss something...

Cheers,
