installing older guile version

[Christian Alpen]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem installing an older guile-version.

I wanted to install a development-version of lilypond, which quits with 
following error:

*WARNING: Please consider installing optional programs or files:  
guile-2.0 < 1.9.0 (installed: 2.0.13)

ERROR: Please install required programs:  guile-config < 1.9.0 
(installed: 2.0.13) (guile-devel, guile-dev or libguile-dev package) 
libguile (libguile-dev, guile-devel or guile-dev package). 
GUILE-with-rational-bugfix**
*

So  I got me an older version guile-1.7.91 (as I couldn't find any 1.8, 
this was the nearest to <1.9.0).

./configure runs fine, but when trying "make", it quits with the 
following error:

*    gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I..    -g -O2 -Wall 
-Wmissing-prototypes -Werror -c -o c-tokenize.o c-tokenize.c; \**
**fi**
**<stdout>:1519:16: error: ‘input’ defined but not used 
[-Werror=unused-function]**
**cc1: all warnings being treated as errors**
**Makefile:1872: die Regel für Ziel „c-tokenize.o“ scheiterte**
**make[2]: *** [c-tokenize.o] Fehler 1**
**make[2]: Verzeichnis „/home/christian/Downloads/guile-1.7.91/libguile“ 
wird verlassen**
**Makefile:419: die Regel für Ziel „all-recursive“ scheiterte**
**make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1**
**make[1]: Verzeichnis „/home/christian/Downloads/guile-1.7.91“ wird 
verlassen**
**Makefile:302: die Regel für Ziel „all“ scheiterte**
**make: *** [all] Fehler 2**
*

Can anyone help me with that?

Any hints are welcome, even alternate installation methods. I tried 
apt-get and Synaptic-package-manager, but couldn't find any
version except the actual 2.x

Thanks a lot for help, best regards,

Christian
