> Now I'm confused.  After spending quite a bit of time installing and uninstalling packages I finally "thought" I determined that the root problem had to do with my guile version.  When I initially loaded the cygwin packages, I inadvertently selected the 1.8 version of guile.  I then had a problem with compilation; something related to "/usr/include/libguile.h:48:17: gmp.h: No such file or directory".  Recalling the warning about guile 1.6; I uninstalled and reinstalled the guild-dev and guile packages.  Compiling a second time progressed further but resulted in the "cannot find -lltdl" error.  I have since discovered that I had failed to rerun configure on the system after changing the guile version.  So I now have a system that compiles properly without libtool (and its dependencies) but with guile 1.6.

My installation is working just fine, but I could try a clean install on another system just to clear up the installation discrepancy if you think it would be valuable.

Guile 1.8 does work, but introduces an extra dependancy of libgmp. You
probably needed the libgmp-dev if you wanted to compile with guile-1.8.
