Not sure if it's arch specific or not. I don't think it is, but I am on pure ~amd64. Looks to be a problem with guile-1.8.3 as emerging guile-1.8.2 allows g-wrap to compile and merge. Here is the error with guile-1.8.3 make[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/portage/dev-libs/g-wrap-1.9.8/work/g-wrap-1.9.8/guile/g-wrap' Making all in gw make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/portage/dev-libs/g-wrap-1.9.8/work/g-wrap-1.9.8/guile/g-wrap/gw' guile -c \ "(set! %load-path (append (apply append (map (lambda (l) (let ((ls (symbol->string l))) (list (string-append \"../../../\" ls) (string-append \"../../../\" ls)))) '(guile scheme48))) '(\"../../..\" \"../../../lib\") %load-path))""(use-modules (g-wrap)) \ (use-modules (g-wrap guile)) \ (use-modules (g-wrap guile ws standard)) \ (generate-wrapset 'guile 'standard \"standard\")" WARNING: (g-wrap util): imported module (srfi srfi-34) overrides core binding `raise' ERROR: In procedure class-precedence-list: ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting class): #<condition-type &error 2b447ddcdbe0> make[4]: *** [standard.c] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/portage/dev-libs/g-wrap-1.9.8/work/g-wrap-1.9.8/guile/g-wrap/gw'
G-wrap-1.9.9 is out. I hope that will fix this.
g-wrap-1.9.9 indeed builds with guile-1.8.3 and has been committed.
