Nice!

Unfortunately I'm having problems compiling guile from CVS (in case
you are wondering, yes, I'm a newbie with CVS also :-(

I've followed the istruction reported here:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/anon-cvs.html

-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/guile login

$ cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/guile checkout guile-core
[snip output]
$ cd guile-core/
$ aclocal
$ automake -a

$ configure && make
[snip lot of funny output]
Making all in libltdl

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/nis/diego/cvs/guile-core/libltdl'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
$
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed the problem isn't hard to spot, since the libltdl directory
contains only the CVS directory!
How can I solve this?

Bye,
