I am trying to install Guile-2.2.2 locally on a cluster. I installed (locally) all the prerequisites for guile as mentioned in the README file. When I run configure using the command below, I do not get any errors.

./configure --prefix=/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/guile_new --with-libltdl-prefix=/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libtool-2.4 --with-libunistring-prefix=/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libunistring-0.9.10 CFLAGS="-I/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libtool-2.4/include -I/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libunistring-0.9.10/include -I/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libiconv-1.15/include" LDFLAGS="-L/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libtool-2.4/lib -L/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libunistring-0.9.10/lib -L/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libiconv-1.15/lib" LIBFFI_LIBS="-L/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libffi_new/lib64" LIBFFI_CFLAGS="-I/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libffi_new/lib/libffi-3.2.1/include/" BDW_GC_CFLAGS="-I/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/bdw_gc/include" BDW_GC_LIBS="-L/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/bdw_gc/lib" --with-libiconv-prefix=/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/libiconv-1.15 --with-libgmp-prefix=/home/acusers/pbalaji/install/gmp-6.1.2/

When I try to run make, the compilation stops with the following error:

I am using gcc-5.5.0 compiler and the all latest version of the prerequisites.

Kindly suggest a way to overcome this issue.

Thanks.

In libguile/fports.c it probably can't find poll.h I found references on internet that indicate sys/poll.h should be used in stead on some platforms, try change the source file and see if this receipt work please file a bug report for guile if that solves your problem
