[A Abbes <address@hidden>]

Hello,

I tried this install, but it does not seem to work, even if I installed 
the ubuntu guile libs.

I also removed the static binaries that caused problem and avoid seeing 
the other problem with the ubuntu .deb package:

However, the problem with the related to the static binaries has already 
been reported several times. I did not succeed to find any working solution.

Below is the output of the actual install.

For the moment, I will swich back to the static binaries, that allow me 
to work without accent, but to display everyting.

best regards

Alexandre
