Hello,
	I don't know exactly where to send this message.  I was
debating sending it to freebsd-ports, but wasn't sure so decided to
send it to the general list in hopes of either being told where to
forward it to, or having my question answered.

	I recently noticed that I had multiple versions of Guile
installed on my box (FreeBSD 4.1.1 Stable Fri. Oct 27) so I
uninstalled them both, and tried to install the port again.  During
the compilation gawk core dumps and the process halts.  After a while
of trying to figure out what was causing it, I noticed that Guile
checks for multiple versions of awk (Gawk, plain ol' awk, nawk,
mawk).  I deinstalled gawk (so that I only had plain awk) and was
successful in compiling and installing the port.

	I don't know if gawk worked before when trying to compile
guile because I don't know if I had it installed before trying to
compile guile for the first time.  If someone could verify whether
this is a problem with their machine and not just mine I can make a
patch so that guile doesn't check for gawk in the ports collection.

	This is all with the latest versions of guile and gawk.

Sincerely,
Caleb Land
