I still am. Despite all today's changes, I STILL have exactly the same problem 
with the guile conversion in src/engine.

srfi and srfi-2 are not being found.

Done that.

Done that too. That changed the way that autogen.sh ran but didn't change how 
the code compiled after a make distclean.

10.3 is not working out.

r11854 has fixed that problem, permanently.

I'll have to add that guile16-build command to make as well by the looks of 
it.

Well, so far, the extra guile16-build command has got the make further than 
before - it's now proceeding through src/engine rather than simply dying. 
It's looking a lot better than yesterday. Thanks, Peter.

(I'm documenting this in doc/build-osx.txt - please take a look and tell me if 
I've got the advice right.)
