Hi all,

compiling texmacs on opensuse 12.1 is not straight forward as a guile 
error is encountered during compilation. It appears that this error 
appears using guile 2.x series. Fortunately opensuse has both 1.x and 
2.x series available, the only tip is that pkg configuration is done 
with "guile-config" for 2.x serie and "guile1-config" for 1.x series.

Therefore replacing all occurrences of "guile-config" by "guile1-config" 
in the texmacs sources will allow texmacs compilation.

I have made Q&D rpm and src.rpm that are available here ( server with 
certificate signed by my laboratory's CA available here 
http://www.femto-st.fr/sci )

https://lxsd.femto-st.fr/wdaniau/texmacs-1.0.7.15-1.wd.x86_64.rpm
https://lxsd.femto-st.fr/wdaniau/texmacs-1.0.7.15-1.wd.src.rpm

If you're on an opensuse 12.1 x86_64, just install the rpm with :
$ rpm -i texmacs-1.0.7.15-1.wd.x86_64.rpm

The source rpm can be used to build a 32 bit version and maybe for other 
opensuse release or other rpm based distribution.
$ rpm -i texmacs-1.0.7.15-1.wd.src.rpm
will install source and patch in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and spec file 
in /usr/src/packages/SPECS

then
$ cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS
$ rpmbuild -ba texmacs.spec

to rebuild rpm.
Note that dependencies had not been really checked, so it might be 
necessary to install some required packages such as libguile1-devel, 
libguile17, libqt4-devel etc etc


Hope this will helpful for the texmacs community.


William.
