Hi bapt,
The problem is lang/guile points to version 1.X so by default we tend do =
a mistake of installing guile which is actually not the latest version. =
I am working guile3 and had a plan to update lang/guile to version 3.X =
so that no confusion arises. Unfortunately the codebase seems totally =
different and requires lots of changes. Am working on it.
There are lots of applications which actually depends on guile1. =
Specially related to ham radio. Due to which we cannot remove =
guile/guile1.

Kind Regards,
bofh
